Heroinat Memorial

The Heroinat Memorial is one of the few tangible reminders in the city which portrays women’s experience and contribution to the history of the country. Consisting of twenty-thousands pins, Heroinat represents the number of survivors of sexual violence during the 1999 Kosovo War. The face contoured by the pins has a two-fold meaning, it depicts a survivor and a war heroine. While the face does not fall into heroic iconography, the memorial as a whole fails to acknowledge women’s heterogenous experience and does not feature individual qualities. The memorial was unveiled on the sixteenth anniversary of Pristina’s liberation June 12, 2015 and stirred a debate among feminist activists who believed that this commemorative practice reduced women’s experiences.
