“Reshape” as a light motif for this year

The Sarajevo Photography Festival’s theme and light motif for this year, “RESHAPE”, is a thought-provoking and relevant topic for artists and audiences alike. The theme of “reshape” implies a transformation or alteration in form, structure, or function, often involving the reconfiguration of existing materials or ideas.

Beyond its artistic implications, the theme of “reshape” takes on broader social and cultural significance. Given the upheaval we are witnessing on a global scale, the festival’s theme invites artists to explore and respond to critical issues and concerns such as wars and conflicts, the impact of technology, globalization, and climate change on our environment and daily lives.

Artists may approach the theme of “reshape” from different perspectives, offering a rich and diverse terrain for exploration and creative expression. Through this year’s theme, the Sarajevo Photography Festival seeks to create a platform for artists to engage critically with the pressing issues of our times, sparking dialogue and inspiring change.
