Sarajevo is not just a place, a name inscribed in blood in the pages of recent world history; it is also a symbol of our general ignorance of and indifference to distant conflict and tragedy. These artists offer a splendid variety of personal responses to Sarajevo's recent history in their work, but they do more than chat. All are responses in which their (our) location, culture and values are inextricably mingled. While reacting co the universal and eternal subjects of war, militarism, racial conflict and suffering as seen in Sarajevo, this art is equally relevant for us as Australians/
