Description

Though my overseas entanglements came to an end via assignment to the independent district of Brcko in Bosnia-Herzegovina, I have great memories and still maintain ties with a number of Brcko's residents with whom I worked. But the best of those is when we created a remarkable art show that I fell into and found myself inundated, then determined, and definitely surprised at the outcome. This tale needs a little background. What and where is Brcko? Brcko ("Birchko" in its Americanized pronunciation) is currently an independent government district on the Sava River, within the boundaries of the Dayton directed reconstituted Bosnia-Herzegovina. Brcko was once a small town and historically part of Bosnia-Herzegovina. In 1939, however, it was attached to Croatia. During the Nazi occupation, the Croatian Ustashi killed many Serbians and Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) who lived in and around Brcko. During the 1991-1995 wars it was a very dangerous place which was taken early by the Serbs and became a kind of corridor that linked two other pieces of Serb-held territory.
