Memory house

A Site of Conscience is a place of memory – it can be a historic site, a museum or a memorial centre (International Coalition of Sites of Conscience).

Memory House serves as a memorial centre where the permanent exhibition “The Duty to Remember” is housed. Temporary exhibitions created by other grassroot organisations and individuals engaged in the transitional justice process in Gambia are also on display. Educational programmes at Memory House, in collaboration with schools and youth groups, are promoting constructive dialogue around human rights and justice.

Memory House opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 5pm (closed on Monday). Admission is free. For directions, click here.

About The Duty to Remember

The Duty to Remember harnesses the power of visual storytelling and documents the transitional justice process in The Gambia. By doing so, it contributes to the collective right of society to know the truth about past events and circumstances that led to human rights violations. Through this exhibition, ANEKED wants to educate society, especially the youth to prevent such atrocities in the future (#NeverAgain). The Duty To Remember gives a platform to victims of human rights violations to amplify their story and influence the way they are traditionally portrayed in the media.

ANEKED is taking the project around the world, from Geneva (Switzerland), Dakar (Senegal), Accra (Ghana) to NYC (USA) to raise awareness and share stories unheard. More locations to be announced.
