This program has organized in conjunction with Warchitecture-Sarajeve: A Wounded City, a multi-media exhibition sponsored by Storefront for Art & Architecture, that describes the combined effects of physical and psychological assaults against the civilian population by presenting one of the main forms and primary targets of this aggression: the destruction of the city's architecture. 

Sarajevo: Cultural Resistance under Siege is intended as a constructive response to the state of emergency in Sarajevo, through which ideas and strategies for rebuilding can be generated. Such work is vitally and immediately important not only because Sarajevo and other communities are currently in grave danger, but also because it has the power to engage individuals, artists and architectus on a personal basis, as they continue to work and plan for the future, even while their efforts are being purposefully destroyed. 

The design of our inhabited environment by political, economic and military powers has led to a continual struggle for territory -- whether it is urban or suburban economic warfare, or military conflict over boundaries. Storefront for Art and Architecture continues to examine root causes and effects of these "design decisions" in an effort to facilitate dialogue and cooperation and to offer creative, reconstructive solutions.
