A Balkan Journey by Chris Leslie takes us on a photographic journey through the towns and cities of post-conflict Former Yugoslavia in this extensive and the previously unseen 24-year archive from the region. This collection showcases his earliest photographs from a war-ravaged Croatian town in 1996, through to the present-day Sarajevo of refugees and migrants trapped in limbo. 2020 marked a quarter of a century since the end of the conflict, but the region and Europe continues to struggle with conflicting ideologies. A Balkan Journey provides a crucial moment of reflection at this time and includes an essay by John McDougall. Join Chris and John for an illustrated talk followed by a Q&A on Chris’s work, the work of other artists in the region, art as a healing tool and the implications of the conflict for the wider world.
