The Subjective Atlas of Bosnia and Herzegovina brings together over eighty personal mappings from people living in a country long defined by outsiders—reduced to entities, ethnic categories, and wartime narratives. This atlas counters such simplifications with a polyphonic cartography: visual stories that show how people inhabit, remember, and imagine this place today.Created through participatory workshops across Bosnia and Herzegovina, the contributions use drawing, collage, and photography to create alternative mappings of a conflict affected state. Rather than offering a fixed or objective account, these situated mappings aim to feel the country—through the materialities of war-damaged buildings, the taste of homemade juices, and the joy of small acts of kindness.In a landscape where trauma lingers and political inertia persists, this publication opens space for critical imagination. It invites us to see Bosnia and Herzegovina not as divided, but as a layered place of entangled histories and resilient futures—mapped from within.
