In the beginning of February workers of Tuzla started demonstrations against the privatization of five factories. On the 7th of February people all over the country were on the street attacking governmental institutions. Fortunately the violence didn't take long. The protest continued in the form of plenums. Apart from any political party, the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina discussed about their demands and the potential changes on political, economical, social and cultural level.

 

The series of performances were a reaction to the lack of support for the arts, to corruption, to the lack of employment, to privatization, to the overall social situation and to the heavy pollution in certain cities. If corruption becomes a habbit, unemployment common, the social situation unbalanced, artists being ignored and rare cancers appear than it's just a matter of time for the people to rise up. Postwar fear is fading, hope is rizing. 

 

I speak of an attack cos many of the performative actions or happenings had a violent character towards the body of the performer. They represent a feeling of empathy towards the people who suffer and struggle. The long duration and repetition of certain actions represent the slowness of positive progress (the future of BIH is not ZARA!), the difficutly of communication on political level, the neverending lies and much more...
