What it is about
From 1992 to 1996, the citizens of Sarajevo endured the longest siege of the modern era, facing relentless shelling, sniper fire, and dire shortages of essentials like food, water, and electricity. Yet in the face of extreme adversity, life persisted—people carried water, shared what little they had, and continued to hope.
"Enduring the Siege of Sarajevo: Snapshots of Survival" is a powerful photographic exhibit by Rikard Larma that captures this spirit of perseverance. Through compelling imagery, the exhibit documents both the everyday horrors and the quiet heroism of Sarajevo’s citizens as they navigated one of the most devastating conflicts of the late 20th century.
More than just a chronicle of war, this exhibit is a testament to the human capacity to endure, rebuild, and rise. Larma’s work invites viewers to reflect on the resilience of the human spirit and the urgent need for peace in our world today.
