Youth Cultural Center Abrasevic
Believes that
A different Mostar is possible
And desires to build
An open society founded on civic virtue
Therefore
Abrasevic searches for and applies alternative solutions in cultural, economic and political life as a response to negative trends in BH society.
M A N I F E S T
OKC Abrasevic originated from a need for an active and safe space which would offer citizens, and especially youth, the possibility for work and creative expression, cultural education, broad-minded social discussion, analysis and critque of contemporary BH and globalized society. Abrasevic grew (up) from the struggle of Mostar youth for a roof overhead, for a house whose foundation would be creative and intellectual freedom, egalitarianism, difference, social responsibility and solidarity.
Our aim is the pursuit of alternative visions and models of global and social organization. We will continue to search for alternative solutions to the existing political, economic and cultural realities which have often been opposed to people's needs and aspirations, devastating human relationships and disrupting social cohesion.
We will inform citizens and work toward: spreading liberal ideas, social rights, strengthening human rights, pluralization of ideas and organizations, freedom of the world and our environment from discrimination, domination, misuse and degradation of nature.
Within our space, both physically and through media, there is room for the promotion of different social and cultural movements, different views of the world and local community, for controversy, discussion and dialogue.
Our exceptionally important mission we also consider as directly including support of actions which are connected with alternatives – by democratic solutions, by actions which change existentially unsustainable states of mind and fundamentally oppose ghettoization, nationalism, reactionary conservative ideas and radical fascist politics and racist conceptions.
Abrasevic does not give any space to materials, ideas and programs which propagate discrimination or totalitarian solutions, and those which exclude difference and the possibility of choice. We do not give any room in our space or programming to propagandistic messages, or to marketing campaigns of corrupt, compromised, multinational, and exploitive firms.
The promotion of these types of attitudes and the creation of an alternative environment is the result of our belief in a society which needs to be composed of aware and active individuals who know how to take charge of their own lives and not people who relinquish decisions about their own life questions to others who gladly
decide in their name. On us and on our engagement, civil movements and actions, depend what sort of world will be ours in the future and who will govern it.

ABRAŠ MEDIA
In informing the public, and by our actions, we do not limit ourselves to only one category or idea which must perform the central role in social change - our mission is to point out a great number of conflicting ideas and actions which are destructive to humanity and to support ideas, collectives and individuals who enter into their own creativity and work to promote different, emancipatory ideas.
