The process of developing Sarajevo’s Ars Aevi Museum of Contemporary Art was strongly motivated by the idea of creating a collection that fosters connections between cities, cultures, ideas and artistic expressions.
Each collection reflects diverse artistic practices influenced by the personal experiences of artists, ranging from artworks archiving human experiences of war to those exploring pure artistic elements like colour, light and form. By establishing collections in cities like Istanbul and Podgorica, Ars Aevi made a significant statement about fostering stronger institutional and artistic connections within the region.
