SPACES OF RESISTANCE

Spaces of Resistance (Spazi di Resistenza) is a potent poetic and political project. Coinciding with the thirtieth anniversary of the end of the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, this timely exhibition offers a profound reflection on the post-war present, exploring themes of trauma, healing, art, and memory. It specifically addresses pivotal events of the conflict, namely the siege of Sarajevo and the Srebrenica genocide.

The exhibition features six artists from diverse cultural, geographical, and generational backgrounds. Going beyond a mere historical analysis of the conflicts, the selected works—including video, photography, installation, and performance—delve into subjects ranging from geopolitical commentary to generative rituals. A central focus of the project is the profound connection to the Earth, which is conceived as a living, political, and spiritual entity.

The project’s identity employs an angular graphic. This design was created to amplify the force and transition between constantly shifting lines, thereby creating a visual sense of resistance.
