The Public Institution Center for Culture Tuzla and the Museum of the 90s from Belgrade are opening the exhibition “The Nineties: From Refusal to Resistance”, dedicated to individuals, collectives, and organizations who chose resistance instead of silence during the wars and crises of the nineties.

The exhibition continues a years-long effort to research and present alternative perspectives on the nineties across the former Yugoslavia. Thirty years after the end of the wars, it focuses on civic courage, anti-war activism, solidarity, and everyday forms of resistance to nationalism, repression, and violence.

Through six thematic sections, visitors will encounter stories of refusal and civic responsibility, as well as the role of independent media, art, protests, and civic initiatives in resisting authoritarian regimes and war propaganda.

One of the exhibition’s central segments is the Wall of Heroes, dedicated to individuals who demonstrated extraordinary civic courage, including Srđan Aleksić, Nedjeljko Galić, Goran Čengić, Vladimir Barović, Tomo Buzov, and others. A special section, Goranka’s Niche, is dedicated to photographer Goranka Matić and her work as an important testimony to the social transformations of the nineties.

The exhibition will remain open to visitors until June 30, 2026, every day from 10 AM to 7 PM.

The exhibition was developed as part of the Museum of the 90s initiative, which has previously presented exhibitions in Belgrade, Sarajevo, and Podgorica.
