With the aim of shaping the public perception of wartime rape and working towards a consensus of memory politics, the Municipality of Budapest launched a multi-pillar project involving professional and civil actors, with the ultimate goal of providing a dignified memorial in the Hungarian capital to women raped in war . Open from 9 March, the exhibition at 2B Gallery showcases scale models of the best proposals selected by an expert jury from 36 entries.

A round table discussion was held at the opening of the exhibition, in the scope of which the volume of studies(Silenced - The History and Representation of Rape in Wartimes)) accompanying the preparatory process for the Budapest monument to women raped in war was presented. In addition to the top three proposals selected by the jury, the exhibition also featured scale models of further three proposals of merit. What all six proposals have in common is that they reflect on the past as well as the present, while pointing the way towards a future that does not shamelessly turn its back on the women who fall victim to war.
