Thanks for highlighting my recent article @INTPOLITSOCIO!

In it, I propose the idea of activist curatorship + explore a range of creative and curatorial practices at Vraca Memorial Park / Spomen-park Vraca Sarajevo.

It's available #OpenAccess + would be keen to hear thoughts!

[International Political Sociology @INTPOLITSOCIO]

#OpenAccess🤗

🧐@LydiaCCole considers Vraca Memorial Park in 🇧🇦 as a lively site of curatorial politics and proposes activist curatorship concept.

A must-read for those interested in expanding the boundaries of political community through activism👌
