Igor Čoko, a photographer and a visual anthropologist from Belgrade, will talk about his experience of recording the experiences Middle Eastern migrants who in the winter of 2017 got temporarily trapped in Belgrade on their way to Western Europe. Igor’s photographs drew worldwide attention to a looming humanitarian crisis in the Balkans, which until then went underreported in the international media. In his work Igor focuses on street life and marginalized social groups, mapping rapid social and cultural changes in the urban space of Belgrade. In this narrated exhibition Igor will also reflect on the impact of his own experiences of being a refugee during the Yugoslav war on this photographic work.
