Draw me a flower is an interactive project by Belma Lugić in which she will be exchanging her flower drawings with the audience. You are invited to draw a flower and leave it in the gallery. In exchange for this gesture you will receive Belma's flower drawing either in the gallery or by post.
This project is based on importance of friendship, love and care that we need all the time, especially in the time of difficulties.

My room is made out of newsprint; it does not exist, as the refugee living in it is not a real person, but someone who you read about in the newspaper - someone who eats the images of the food written about in newspaper articles, someone who wears the clothes even he / she dreams about.

The readers aspire to the same things allegedly possessed by the refugees and asylum seekers. However, no one attains to them - neither refugees nor the audience.

History, repeated. History, unwanted. History, withdrawn… history, recycled…

In the new installation that was influenced by her job at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies library, where she has been splitting Yugoslavia (yet again!) by reclassifying library’s Yugoslav section Suzana reinvents the history of these otherwise unwanted books.

Can orphaned history of the country, that once was, be turned into some hope for tomorrow?

Suzana is also showing If only I had, site specific intervention/installation
