Artist Talk: A Balkan Journey - Chris Leslie

A Balkan Journey is a new photo book of photography and essays, alongside interactive international and local events and exhibition. Chris Leslie takes us on a photographic journey through the towns and cities of post-conflict Former Yugoslavia in this extensive and previously unseen 24-year archive from the region.

2020 marked a quarter of a century since the end of the conflict and 2021 marks 25 years since the siege of Sarajevo ended.  Working alongside writer John McDougall, A Balkan Journey will provide us with a penetrating insight into the human stories behind one of the most influential periods in modern European history.

This collection of work will showcase his earliest photographs from a war-ravaged Croatian town in 1996, through to the present-day Sarajevo of refugees and migrants trapped in limbo.
