Landscapes of Repair | Group Exhibition and Catalogue Presentation

Landscapes of Repair is a collaborative project on post-traumatic landscapes in Kosovo and the region. Since 2021, the project Landscapes of Repair has established a collaborative platform on post-traumatic place-making and the construction, availability and transformation of public space within Kosovo and the region. This involved Kosovo and international researchers, civil society actors, and artists.

The Landscapes of Repair exhibition examines current concepts of space creation and memorialisation practices in Kosovo and the Western Balkans. The exhibition invites us to consider the spatial as a discursive space of the past trauma in the present.

It is from this vantage point that the Landscapes of Repair exhibition responds to the following questions: How are post-conflict landscapes implicated in processes of memorialisation practices and repair in Kosovo? What is the visible and invisible impact of conflict and trauma on the built environment, architecture and public places? What does repair look like in the post-traumatic landscapes of Kosovo and the Western Balkans? What are the possibilities afforded by creative practice to critically engage these places in the present?
