Yesterday was dedicated to understanding deeply the history of Sarajevo and the context surrounding my exhibition more deeply.

We visited the Historical Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina historijski.muzejbih, where we learned about the Siege of Sarajevo from 1992 to 1996 - nearly four years that profoundly shaped the city and the lives of its people.

From there, we continued to Sarajevo City Hall, Vijećnica. During the war, the building was attacked and set on fire in 1992, destroying much of the building and its collections. After the war, it was painstakingly reconstructed over many years.

Today, Vijećnica stands not only as a monument to what was lost, but also as a symbol of resilience, reconstruction, and hope for the future of an independent Bosnia and Herzegovina.

To encounter this history here, in the places where it happened, has been deeply moving. It gives another dimension to my exhibition at the National Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina umjetnickagalerijabih - and to the stories I am trying to tell through art.

It is an honor to exhibit in Sarajevo. More about the background and meaning of the exhibition soon.
