This year’s production will be magnified with installation by a super-talented street artist from Poland with whom we had a unique connection.
Lace patterns are her signature style for dealing with positive emotions, and at times uses her work to comment on social and political issues she considers crucial. NeSpoon’s work is a symbol of the connection between people and cultures. She will create an installation in the surroundings of the Old Library on Mostar’s promenade. Her works decorate walls around the world and bring unusual subtlety to urban spaces.
We are thrilled to host her again in Mostar!
