Urban Environmentalism in Sarajevo: Limits and Possibilities

Subjecting all livelihoods to capitalist appropriation does not simply mean robbing ‘us’ of what belongs to ‘us.’ It means depriving ‘the people’ of common resources, that is, ‘our’ infrastructure of life (air, climate, health care, education, public space, etc.) and thus preventing ‘us’ from organizing human and other-than-human life in a democratic and sustainable way, Svjetlana Nedimović argues in her “Kin City” talk, zooming in on struggles in Sarajevo for social, spatial, and environmental justice.

The fifth panel of the conference at the “Kin City” festival, moderated by Iskra Krstić, took place on October 17, 2024 at the ZK/U – Center for Arts and Urbanistics. You can listen to the recording by clicking on the play button above.
