The Bosnian Chronicle explores the new political, social, economic, and urban conditions that have emerged as a result of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The country's current socio-political situation, in which the collapse of institutional power has unleashed unregulated individual action, creates the conditions for the ever-changing urban space that is the subject of the exhibition. The exhibition attempts to define and analyze the current urban and architectural phenomena in Bosnia and Herzegovina under the idea of "Balkanization." Through various investigations into the history of urban change in the region, the exhibition shows how artists and architects are developing new means to channel the country's creative energies to positive ends while promoting sustainable urban development from within. This exhibition was produced as part of the GfzK Leipzig's multi-year project Cultural Territories and as the first exhibition to inaugurate the GfzK's new building.
