In this article, we present, as participants and observers, an analysis of the social and political impact of the 2015 art installation "Mendoj Për Ty" [Thinking of You], dedicated to survivors of wartime sexual violence in Kosovo. We argue that art possesses an extraordinary power to unveil the "public secret" of wartime rape, as well as produce a "reparative" reading of the past, creating solidarity for, and recognition of, survivors, which simultaneously empowers them and their advocates. We also confirm the crucial role of women's networks and subjectivity to the inclusion of women's perspectives for effective transitional justice.
在本文中,我们作为参与者和观察者,对 2015 年的艺术装置“Mendoj Për Ty”[想你了]进行了分析,该装置旨在纪念科索沃战争中的性暴力幸存者。我们认为,艺术具有揭示战争时期强奸“公共秘密”的非凡力量,以及对过去进行“修复性”解读的能力,为幸存者创造团结和认可,同时赋予他们及其倡导者权力。我们还确认了妇女网络和主体性在将妇女视角纳入有效过渡司法中的关键作用。
