This book is the first academic study of contemporary feminist art in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).

Focusing on art from BiH–a Former Yugoslav republic that has been largely overlooked in the literature–this book demonstrates the unique contributions by artists in understanding the intersection of gender and class with nationalism in a post-conflict society. Examining the historical precedents and drawing on conversations with the artists, this book examines the way in which artists present a counterpoint to the toxic normative culture of remembrance. It provides an argument for feminist art as a mode of remembrance and anti-nationalist collectivity in a region that has been subject to prolonged instability and crisis.

This book will be of interest to scholars in contemporary art, feminist studies, war and conflict studies, and European studies.
