'Witness' exhibition by Adis Lukač opens at Sarajevo City Hall

FENA Muamer Selimbegovic

SARAJEVO, July 19 (FENA) - An exhibition titled "Witness" by BiH academic sculptor and painter Adis Lukač opened today at the Sarajevo City Hall as part of this year's cultural event "Days of Revival 2021", organized by the Bosniak Cultural Community - Preporod.

It is an exhibition of paintings, drawings and sculptures (18 works) based on the theme of Srebrenica genocide and focuses on the motif of escape as a fragment and symbol of the horror and trauma it produced and still produces an echo of that tragic event.

Speaking about the motives and messages that the exhibition contains, the president of BZK Preporod Sanjin Kodrić emphasized the importance of culture and art as a medium that connects people and spreads knowledge, and contributes to the culture of memory.

“We must not leave the traumatic events of our past solely to the memory of individuals. If we do that, those memories will fade with the biological departure of individuals who remember genocide and feel it in every part of their own being,” said Kodrić.

Adis Lukač points out for FENA that the focus of the exhibition is on escapes, i.e. people who survived the shootings and found their way across death. After reading the material, testimonies about the genocide in Srebrenica, the author decided on a portrait as a motif that best suited his idea.

The author expressed satisfaction with the fact that the exhibition is opened at the Sarajevo City Hall, which itself witnessed the destruction and urbicide, but also reconstruction, assessing it as a good start to its journey to the widest audience and better and happier times.

It is planned, if the conditions of the pandemic allow, to repeat the exhibition in the country and abroad, so that the truth about genocide, presented through the medium of art, reaches the general public.
