Between East and West: Bosnia’s Culture Heritage

Situated at the cross-roads of two major civilizations and empires – the Ottoman and Habsburg Empires – Bosnia and Hercegovina developed its own unique cultural traditions. This culture drew on the great imperial and cultural centers of Vienna and Istanbul, but it adapted these emanations to the local setting. The once imperial legacy of a diverse and multicultural society lived on in Bosnia, although increasingly strained by modern nationalist projects. Cazim Hadzimejlic brings to light this cultural heritage, with a specific focus on its aesthetic dimension, which reminds us of a more open-minded and diverse world. This event is 6 p.m. Monday, February 26, in Conway Hall Room 156. For more information visit www.salisbury.edu/public-humanities.
