Special talk on war trauma and grief processing.
April 8th, 2015 / 5:00 p.m., Teatro Comunale of Gradisca d’Isonzo (GO), Italy
The Director of the Psychoanalytic Institute of Eastern Europe explains how the war constitutes a trauma for both individuals and groups, how the trauma is inherited by the next generations and how art can be a tool for the processing of this trauma. In conclusion, a Bosnian artist who experienced the Balkan conflict and is now famous all around the world as he has also been the representative of his country at the Venice Biennale, explains how the Balkans conflict was central in his work and how the artist deals with the theme of cultural identity (identity which is often made uncertain, wiped out or deleted from the wars).
