Shooting in Sarajevo

The exhibition Shooting in Sarajevowith photographs by Luigi Ottani and a project devised together with Roberta Biagiarelli, presents itself as an important opportunity to active memory and of critical reflection on the present. Set up on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Dayton Accords - which in 1995 put an end to the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina - the exhibition offers an unprecedented look at the’siege of Sarajevo, documenting the places from which the snipers affected the city and which today have once again become spaces of everyday life.

Along the exhibition route, the intense shots of Ottani dialogue with the curatorial sensitivity of Biagiarelli, and returns a photographic narrative that goes beyond the chronicle, and invites us to consider the urban transformation and human of the post-war landscape. A visual narrative capable of bringing out not only the tragedy of the past, but also the resilience of a city that has been reborn.

Alongside the main exhibition, it will also be possible to visit the installation “Srebrenica Genocide: eleven lessons for the future”, curated by the Islamic Community of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Consulate General of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Milan, which delves into one of the most dramatic pages of the conflict, with the aim of conveying a universal message of memory e prevention.
