Branko Ćopić’s poem “Hedgehog’s Home” has a special place in the childhood memories of numerous generations born in Yugoslavia. Even today, seven decades after its publication, this literary work represents a field of identification, a shared place of memory and a strong trigger for nostalgia. Starting from its iconic status in the collective memory and the turbulent history of reception of this poem and its writer, an exhibition was created that aims to initiate a dialogue about the common intangible cultural heritage and its potentials in order to rethink our identities today, and simultaneously raise questions about the importance of home, the relationship to the recent past, the communities we belong to, xenophobia, memory, nostalgia, mental health.
