How do we come to terms with a story that we didn’t choose for ourselves? As part of our 2022/2023 mental health theme, Kosovar artist Petrit Halilaj shares his personal journey through a visual story rooted in his childhood. During the Kosovo War in 1998–1999, he created a series of drawings that helped him cope with those tumultuous times. Now an accomplished artist, he has revisited those images and transformed them into an immersive installation that transports viewers into shared and personal memories of a child, but also into his dreams and aspirations for the future.
