Washington, DC—On March 23, 2016, the WFPG co-hosted a documentary screening and discussion of The Making of #Mendojpërty/#Thinkingofyou with The Embassy of Kosovo to the United States and NYU Washington, DC. The documentary showed the making of the art installation Thinking of You that displayed five thousands of dresses in a soccer stadium to honor the survivors of sexual violence during the 1998-99 war, break the silence, and shed light on these brutal crimes. Ambassador Vlora Çitaku of Kosovo to the US introduced President Atifete Jahjaga of Kosovo, who gave remarks on her sponsorship of the art installation. Following the screening, WFPG President Patricia Ellis interviewed President Jahjaga and the documentary's producer Anna Di Lellio.
