Street Art In Post-War Bosnia and Croatia
Rememering, Reclaiming, Re-Imagining
Abstract
As a life-long “creative” I find inspiration everywhere. My mind toggles freely between visual images and words on the page or the screen. And when it comes time for me to synthesize thought, research, experience, and emotion into a cohesive narrative, I often feel compelled to choose between “words” and “images” to convey a compelling story. In recent times, though, I find myself leaning into a more natural inclination to combine the two. I love the freedom this choice affords me. Street art—in its infinite array of styles and content—is emblematic of this hybridized creative medium. I’m not surprised to find myself drawn to these works like a bee to pollen.
