Dear Comrade,

Dear Comrade, is a collaborative work in the form of a public written dialogue between three artists Jelena Fužinato, Alma Gačanin and Milena Ivić, and their mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and friends. Messages were displayed on billboards across Sarajevo, Mostar, and Banjaluka.

On 22 October 2022, the artists and members of the Crvena collective held a midnight walk through Sarajevo, responding to each other’s messages by writing directly on the billboards.

The project centers on female solidarity, friendship, and mutual care, shared across generations, at a time when feminist activism is in crisis and the future of women’s rights in the Balkans and beyond is increasingly under threat.
