FENA Nermina Omerbegović

SARAJEVO, May 30 (FENA) - Exhibition "Stećak 3D", organized by the "Mak Dizdar" Foundation, opened in BiH History Museum yesterday.
 
Gorčin Dizdar from the "Mak Dizdar" Foundation stated that visitors can see 15 models of stećak tombstones from various localities in Bosnia and Herzegovina with 3D technology at the exhibition.
 
“It is of great importance first of all for the study of stećak tombstones. Now scientists around the world can access and see the objects that are often difficult to access. We also hope to bring stećak tombstones and our cultural heritage closer to the wider population, especially young people,” said Dizdar.
 
He also commented on the fact that, although stećak tombstones are enlisted on the UNESCO list of cultural heritage, they are still not taken into account enough.
 
“Most of the sites are both unmarked and unprotected. The great irony is that, just like in everything, we like to quarrel over who it belongs to. And no one takes care and it is falling apart before our eyes,” Dizdar thinks.
 
The exhibition was organized within the project "StećAR: Enhanced Vision of Stećak", which aims to connect young people from Bosnia and Herzegovina through joint activities and work on the study, protection and promotion of stećak tombstones, cultural heritage of all citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
 
Photos, basic and GPS data on over 200 necropolises throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, collected by project volunteers can be found on the website https://stecakmap.info/, which was also created within this project.
 
The project is implemented by the Mak Dizdar Foundation, thanks to the support of the BHRI project implemented by the International Organization for Migration in BiH, and financially supported by the USAID mission.
 
The exhibition will be open until June 2, and it will also be presented in Zenica, Zvornik, Mostar, Banja Luka and Stolac.
