BG:LOG - Belgrade Log

BG:LOG is an alternative map and the archive of Belgrade. It is reviving the forgotten spirit of the city through a depiction of memory about the fellowship between people, little known important events, everyday and work practices, famous and anonymous neighbors; all that significantly changed in the last four decades.
Belgrade’s map is the repository of records obtained at workshops with its citizens as part of mixed methods research. The aim of it is to raise the visibility of public reminiscence and collective memory and ultimately disrupt the official history.
Our enquiry is born out of observations of the regeneration/gentrification, which clashes with previous political and social system existed in this urban environment. This condition provoked the question - does end of socialism mean the end of the community and for the answer it searched across four representative Belgrade boroughs.
