The project highlights the bond between Reggio Emilia and Sarajevo, aiming to raise awareness, especially among young Italians about the Bosnian war of the 1990s. Bosnia’s story is told here through an artis tic-poetic poster that evokes empathy and reflects on the country’s fight for human rights and identity.

Despite deep ethnic divisions, Bosnians share a drive to heal and reclaim their past. My proposal embodies this process: an anonymous figure is depicted on torn, stained white fabric, stitched with harsh red thread. Red symbolizes blood, strength, and emotion. Raw ma terials and incisive lines convey the weight of a painful

history. The manifesto becomes a garment. War wounds are represented by cuts in the dress, exposing skin or red fabric. Zippers allow these wounds to close, turning into scars. Violent stitching, both in text and fabric, echoes the trauma at the heart of the message. The video wants to deepen this reflection.
