Post Conflict Research Center (PCRC) & Subjective Editions proudly announce the release of the Subjective Atlas of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a new publication that reimagines how this complex country can be seen and felt — through the eyes of its people.
Bringing together over eighty personal mappings from contributors across Bosnia and Herzegovina, the book offers an intimate, polyphonic portrait of everyday life, memory, and hope in a country too often defined by outsiders. Created through participatory workshops held in Sarajevo, Srebrenica, and Vitez, the atlas uses drawing, collage, and photography to capture how people inhabit, remember, and imagine their surroundings today.
Rather than presenting a fixed or objective account, these mappings express Bosnia and Herzegovina through sensations — the textures of war-scarred buildings, the taste of homemade juices, the ache of absence, and the joy of small solidarities. The publication opens space for critical imagination and shows that Bosnia and Herzegovina is not divided, but layered with entangled histories and resilient futures — mapped from within.
The Subjective Atlas of Bosnia and Herzegovina will be launched on Wednesday, 3 December 2025, with an accompanying exhibition at Vijećnica (Sarajevo City Hall). The book will be available in bookshops across Bosnia and Herzegovina, and internationally through Idea Books for €27.50.
This publication is the result of a collaboration between Subjective Editions, Newcastle University, and the Post-Conflict Research Centre (PCRC).
