The exhibition unites artworks and documentary material related to Bosnia and Herzegovina. They enable to identified and elaborate the concept of the “stranger” in its legal, political, social, and cultural dimensions. Numerous works explore this notion from perspectives of people with refugee or migrant experience. Its ambivalence through concepts such as identity, statelessness, or displacement is highlighted.

Some exhibits address the positions of those who often cannot be easily legally categorized and who express a particular attitude through their sociopolitical statuses. A special focus is on counter-political voices caused by exile, migration, and unresolved citizenship.
