Join us on Thursday, 29th of May, for a hands-on, creative workshop that flips Western narratives on the Balkans!

Time & Location: 16:00 pm at Kuća ljudskih prava Zagreb (Selska Cesta 112, Zagreb). The workshop lasts around 3 hours and is open to all.

We will explore how dominant Western narratives often framed and still frame the Balkans as a region of violence, backwardness and division. Using different media sources and theoretical insights, we will critically reflect on how these portrayals affect identity.

Participants will then form small groups to produce counter-narratives. You can make visual posters, curate music mashups or playlists with regional sounds or craft a shared “word wall” of expressions and dialects…

We’ll wrap up by displaying all creations in a mini-exhibition and reflecting on how art and collaboration can help reshape how the region is seen by others and ourselves.
