The exhibition 'Šejla Kamerić – You, Who Can Fly' at Francisco Carolinum in Linz brings together two major bodies of work—self-portraits and textile-based pieces—alongside newly produced installations conceived specifically for this presentation in Linz. Through these interwoven works, Kamerić explores themes of gender, memory, trauma, agency, and resilience.
Born in 1976 in Sarajevo—then part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and now the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina—Kamerić’s experiences of historical and political upheaval have profoundly shaped her artistic practice. This exhibition, showcasing her multifaceted body of work, not only reflects her personal history but also engages with broader political and societal questions.
Two works from the Art Collection Telekom are on loan for the exhibition: 'June is June Everywhere' (2013) and 'Embarazada' (2015).
