Preko grane can be translated as «across the border». The crossing of the border from the Balkans to Western Europe conjures up the idea of reaching a place of abundance and prosperity. But what happens after the displacement? Motivated by both conflict and labor opportunities, the Balkan diaspora has set roots across the continent. However, life on the other side has proven itself as double-edged; despite the prospect of prosperity, the new life day-by-day equally comes with estrangement – arising through bureaucratic obstacles, strained family relations, cultural and personal loss. The alienation that arises in the wake of this displacement makes the anchor point of the exhibition Preko grane, where Damir Avdagić, Tanja Ostojić, Mila Panić, and Kjetil Skøien, curated by Mathea Milkovic Saric, present works that document, elaborate on and actively makes use of this condition in an artistic pivot.
