“The Sebilj is an incredible symbol of my Bosnian culture and traditions. It reminds me where I came from, and allows me to pass on the history and stories of my country to my children and to future generations. Every time I visit it, I will remember who I am and the country that formed me. I feel a deep personal connection to this important landmark, and I am forever grateful for being able to remember,” said Hanka Grabovica.
The building of a Sebilj (Bosnian monument) in Utica, NY is an important and meaningful project that is close to our hearts. This project is dedicated to the city by representing the Bosnian community that had been so welcomed as refugees after the war in the early 1990s. Today, we are an integral component of what makes Utica such a special place. We believe that a Sebilj will be an inspirational symbol for Bosnians and non-Bosnians for generations to come. Our Sebilj will be a lasting reminder of our community’s values and identity and will be a great asset for our city by bringing a bit of our history and architecture into a public space. By doing this, we can share this monument, which symbolizes who we are with future generations, creating a better and brighter future for our children and our grandchildren. You can help by donating your expertise, your time, and making a financial contribution to make this dream become a reality.
