[wzslider autoplay=”true”]There is no blood, tears and destruction in these photographs. We see the heroism of an entire population and the emotion with layers and layers of different stories hidden in the background.
As the photojournalist of BH Press and the associate of AP, Hidajet Delic documented the daily life of Sarajevo with his camera. It is a special collection of photographs dedicated to women in the besieged city, heroines that preserved city’s soul.
Exhibition called “Women in besieged Sarajevo” is only documentary at first glance. Each of the 40 reportage photography carries a deep and personal story in which everyone who survived at least one day of the siege can found itself.
Do not miss this excellent collection that is exposed in the Depot Ars Aevi (Dom mladih Skenderija – Youth House Skenderija) until the 15th of May, on the festival of the Module of Memory.
“This photographs cover only the first year of the war, the beginning of the aggression, burning of the Post Office, the City Hall, the shelling of Kralja Tomislava Street. You cannot still see the awareness on many faces that the war started and that it will last for a long time. They all hoped that it will last for fifteen days or so. Only when you take a look at the people at the farewell of convoy from Sarajevo, you can see faces reflecting the question on how long the separation will last,” said the author of photographs, Hidajet Delic Degi.
“I think that women, after heroes who stood on the front line, were the ones who defended the city. If it was not for the women, their energy and their strength, I do not know how this war would end,” said the author.
