i-platform is organising a panel discussion focusing on art and activism in Bosnia and Herzegovina on Saturday, 6th October 2018 at 7:00 pm. The panel discussion with different guests from BiH and Switzerland will take place at Karl der Grosse in Zürich.
Engaged art allows questioning, disclosure, analysis of their own position and role in society, as well as the question of identity. When we talk about activism in art, we are talking about trying to change the world view and to raise awareness of the topics on which most people do not pay enough attention. What is engaged art in Bosnia and Herzegovina today and what are the biggest problems encountered by Bosnian artists?
We are looking for answers to these and many other questions together with our guests.
