In the framework of FUTURE HERITAGE COLLECTION, artist Azra Akšamija has called upon the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina to take responsibility for their own cultural heritage by making contributions to the collection - with the intention of making the cultural development of their environment comprehensible for future generations.

The situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina is indeed special, as there is practically no functioning museum structure to take on the task of collecting and preserving. However, related questions can be posed, concerning these cultural contexts. In Graz, we can investigate the question of how collections are formed: Who has the authority to collect and what is kept in the institutions? How can the hegemony of many collections, a reflection of the dominance of certain segments of the population, be broken? And, who is able to determine exactly what is “valuable” for future generations, and therefore must be conserved? In more general terms:
What heritage do we want to leave behind?
