This paper aims at categorizing the tools used contemporarily by memory activists to create the alternative collective memories. By using examples of memory work done by activists in Israel and former Yugoslavia (Serbia and Bosnia and Hercegovina) I attempt to show methods employed by memory activists to produce alternative knowledge and counter-memory. The paper looks at examples of memory activism from the countries where activists and NGOs are currently engaged in large memory work, raising awareness about the past and the present, as well as commemorating facts suppressed through hegemonic collective-memory. The tools described here are divided into several categories, with a short analysis of the circumstances they are used in, to show contemporary memory work and activism and its outcomes.
