Impact of FASADA 2023/
The third edition of the FASADA Festival transformed the neglected Višnjik neighborhood, located in the Sarajevo city center. The first open-air gallery created as part of FASADA Festival features five murals, offering a new methodology of urban transformation.
FASADA 2023 brought together artists from the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Serbia, and Spain, showcasing the vast possibilities of contemporary wall painting. The program included the exhibition Catching Lines at Manifesto Gallery, featuring over 50 graffiti artists and curated by Where Next Gallery. Additional highlights included a graffiti jam with music by Garden of Dreams, a live painting battle with Sarajevo Matinee, and an educational program featuring street art photographer Martha Cooper, workshops by ZMAJA, and artist talks. The community segment hosted a BSAN network panel, a DUK festival case study, and a film screening.
