My artistic research developed into a web conversation platform titled "Into Which Narrative Was I Born?", exploring personal experiences of learning about History worldwide. I interpreted the experiences of my interlocutors as condensed sound-collages, inviting active, mindful listening. To access these audio works, please click on this link.
In a polarized world, I seek entry points for contemplating conflict and divisions. How does schooling contribute to the development of polarized viewpoints?
My peer-reviewed paper on this question, examining the teaching of competing histories at schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), is published on this link.
I also immersed myself in artistic research, meditating on my personal relationship to the teaching of three mutually exclusive, competing historical narratives to primary school children in BiH since the 1990s war. I made paper collages from the idea of History textbooks used at schools, exhibited as a solo show titled "Into Which Narrative Was I Born?" at the History Museum of BiH in Sarajevo, from 7th July until 31 August 2023, and as part of the international conference "Why Remember?", organized by the Peace and Conflict Culture Network.
