The exhibition, which is part of the 24th Red Dawn Festival, presents Meta Krese's multi-year photographic project documenting the stories of widows from Srebrenica who found refuge in isolated refugee settlements during the Bosnian war. Some of them, which were meant to be short-term solutions, are still standing. The exhibition tells the story of the widows, their children and grandchildren who cannot return to their homes and remain trapped in this temporary but actually final in-between space. The project aims to raise the question of what war brings and what peace does not take away. The artist has thoroughly researched the stories of the most vulnerable people and creatively pieced them together into a whole. In this way, we are presented with a critical account of the problems that the world has not been able to solve and that have therefore been pushed to the margins of its consciousness.
Razstava, ki je del 24. Festivala Rdeče zore, je predstavitev večletnega fotografskega projekta Mete Krese, ki dokumentira zgodbe vdov iz Srebrenice, ki so se med vojno v Bosni zatekle v odrezana begunska naselja. Nekatera, ki so bila mišljena kot kratkoročna rešitev, še vedno stojijo. Razstava govori o vdovah, njihovih otrocih in vnukih, ki se ne morejo vrniti v svoje domove in ostajajo ujeti v tem vmesnem, začasnem, a v resnici dokončnem prostoru. Projekt je mišljen kot vprašanje, kaj prinese vojna in česa ne odnese mir. Avtorica je zgodbe najbolj ranljivih poglobljeno raziskala in jih ustvarjalno povezala v celoto. Na ogled smo tako dobile_i kritično predstavitev problematike, ki je svet ni uspel rešiti in jo je zato odrinil na obrobje svojega zavedanja.
