Sarajevo Singular Plural presents a collection of essays, art, and photography that explore Sarajevo as a ‘multiplex city.’ It examines the concept of ‘being with,’ which encompasses co-existence, exposure, and hybridization, reflecting the city’s ongoing transformation as it intertwines its past and future. The recent history of Sarajevo is marked by tragedies and failures, yet it also holds unrealized hope and potential, captured through delicate artistic expressions. The book analyzes Sarajevo’s urban landscape from diverse perspectives, drawing from architecture, urbanism, literature, art, anthropology, history, philosophy, social sciences, and politics. It portrays the city as a dynamic entity, constantly evolving, and suggests a collaborative system of interconnected projects that drive change. Rather than presenting a definitive narrative, this volume serves as an open platform for further exploration, inviting readers to engage with its varied contributions as fragments that offer multiple interpretations of the urban space over time. Contributions come from a range of authors and artists, enriching the discourse around Sarajevo's identity and future.
