From 2006 to 2020, ŠTO TE NEMA existed as a participatory nomadic monument to the Srebrenica Genocide that had traveled to 15 different cities around the world. In 2021, ŠTO TE NEMA evolved into a nonprofit organization registered in the U.S. and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Bosnian-American artist Aida Šehović created ŠTO TE NEMA NEMA to demonstrate the importance of community building and recovery in the aftermath of war and genocide. She began collecting “fildžani” [traditional porcelain coffee cups] with the goal of having one cup for each of the 8,372 victims. Every 11th of July, the anniversary of the genocide, Aida organized the monument in the public square of a new city in partnership with local communities and the Bosnian diaspora. Volunteers and passersby participated by placing the collected cups on the ground and filling them with Bosnian coffee, made on site throughout the day. The filled cups remained undrunk in memory of the victims.

The public art project began in 2006 with 923 cups, first collected by the members of The Women of Srebrenica Association. It culminated in 2020 with more than 8,372 collected cups assembled at the site of the atrocities in Srebrenica-Potočari.
