Bosniacs out! (Workers without frontiers), 2008

On-site project for exposition Museum in the Street Moderna galerija, Ljubljana, Slovenia

 

Design: Dejan Dragosavac-Ruta

 

The project raises the issue of the Slovenes' attitude towards workers from Bosnia.

The artist has developed the project in collaboration with three construction workers from Bosnia who, at the time of the project's creation, were working at the restauration of the Moderna galerija building in Ljubljana.

All four of them have signed the Author's Agreement with the Moderna galerija, and have worked together on the project under the same conditions, at the premises of the dislocated Museum.

The end result of the collaboration was the city-lights campaign in the center of Ljubljana.

The focus on four main subjects – working conditions, life in a bachelor's home, poor quality nutrition and separation from their families – and the direct manner of the campaign raise awareness of the stereotype of Bosniacs in Ljubljana and present their „good“ working and living conditions to the Slovenes.
