An open dialogue on memory, identity and the city in post conflict Sarajevo
With  L. DeWolf, S. Girani, P. Szejnfeld Sirkis

Written as part of Reconstructing Sarajevo: Negotiating Socio-Political Complexity, the illustrated essay ‘Dynamic Reflections on Sarajevo: An Open Dialogue On Memory, Identity and the City’ presents a dialogue between a group of architects and social scientists after their first visit to Sarajevo, BiH. Drawing on observations from the field, the essay highlights the themes that emerged as most salient during the exploration of the city. Rather than drawing conclusions about these topics and their relation to Sarajevo, the dialogue uses the city as a point of departure from which to discuss the politics of memory and the role of urban identity involved in conflict resolution, issues that continue to shape post-conflict and post-socialist cities such as Sarajevo.
