Looking for Esmir, I found Bosnia.

Event in English and open to all (English below).
Kulturno društvo Preporod u Norveškoj poziva vas na posebnu večer i promociju knjige "Tražeći Esmira".
Šta ako jedna fotografija može pokrenuti putovanje u Bosnu?
Dječak se smiješi u kameru. Ima 18 godina. Zove se Esmir Mujičić. Godinama kasnije, nizozemski autor i pozorišni stvaralac Nick Teunissen nailazi na tu fotografiju i nešto u Esmirovom osmijehu ostaje mu u sjećanju. Ono što je počelo kao potraga za jednom osobom postepeno je preraslo u susret s Bosnom i Hercegovinom, njenim ljudima, kulturom, historijom i njenom složenošću.
Dvadeset i šest godina nakon što je fotografija nastala, Nick ju je uspio vratiti Esmirovoj majci. Ali do tada je ovo putovanje već postalo mnogo više od toga.
Kroz razgovor, jedinstvene video-materijale i pozorišnu izvedbu, Nick će podijeliti priču koja stoji iza knjige i govoriti o tome šta se događa kada radoznalost prema jednoj osobi otvori vrata prema cijeloj jednoj zemlji. Danas živi u Sarajevu, a tokom programa izvest će i tradicionalnu sevdalinku.
Nakon programa, srdačno ste pozvani da ostanete na osvježenju i razgovoru.
Knjiga će biti dostupna za kupovinu.
Sav prihod od prodaje knjiga bit će doniran organizaciji Obrazovanje gradi BiH – Jovan Divjak.
What if one photograph could spark a journey to Bosnia?
A boy smiles into the camera. He is 18 years old. His name is Esmir Mujičić. Years later, Dutch author and theatre-maker Nick Teunissen comes across that photograph, and something about Esmir’s smile stays with him. What started as a search for one person gradually became an encounter with Bosnia and Herzegovina, its people, culture, history and complexity.
Twenty-six years after the picture was taken, he was able to return it to Esmir’s mother. But by then, the journey had become about much more.
Through conversation, unique video material and theatre, Nick will share the story behind the book and reflect on what happens when curiosity about one person opens the door to an entire country. Now based in Sarajevo, Nick will also perform a traditional sevdalinka.
After the programme, you are invited to stay for refreshments and conversation.
Copies of the book will be available.
All proceeds from book sales will be donated to Education Builds Bosnia and Herzegovina – Jovan Divjak.
