NESPOON

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!

CIBO

For more than a decade has been covering divisive messages and offensive writings with colorful murals depicting all sorts of foods. His weapon against hate speech and far-right propaganda are art, culture, and irony. He started using his murals after one of his colleagues was killed by a group of neo-fascists; his art typically depicts Italian cuisine, i.e. motifs from the kitchen with which he covers messages of hate.  Cibo definitely will bring a spark of joy to the walls of Mostar.
