Salon of Cultures – The Day After
Can art contribute to healing after social conflicts? Can it support justice in political transition processes?
“The Day After” focuses on countries and regions that were affected by conflicts such as the Bosnian War, the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia, Albania and Kosovo. This performative exhibition evening will visualise and discuss current relationships, living situations, challenges, post-conflict realities and forms of reconciliation and transitional justice.
Curator Osama Zatar has invited the four artists Armina Hatic, Elvedin Klačar, Smirna Kulenovic and Milan Mijalkovic (with Gaffa Galaktika) to present works that reflect their personal experiences, the dynamics of current relations in the countries of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe and the multi-layered processes of reconciliation.
Individual and collective narratives will be explored through visual, performative and installation art. They emphasise how creative expression can be a transformative force in the process of social healing.
