This exhibition features intergenerational photographers from Serbia that approach documentary photography as a means to explore social and political complexities.
Serbia is a landlocked country in central Europe with a long and complicated history including as part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1918-1941) and a communist dictatorship called the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1945-1992). A series of violent ethnic conflicts in the 1990’s forced Yugoslavia to dissolve. The modern Serbia emerged.
The selected works highlight depictions from contemporary urban and rural life to historical events occurring in, and after Yugoslavia, specifically between the 1980s and today, as photography has mirrored the changes in political and ideological systems and their effects on cultural values.
