The story

Sarajevo Street Art Festival in Sarajevo

An open-air mural and street-art festival that ran annually in Sarajevo each July from 2015 to 2020, temporarily transforming neighborhoods into a fresh street-art quarter alongside concerts and live performances. Its current status is unclear, and a related initiative, FASADA Festival, has run in the city since 2021 with a similar mission.

Sarajevo Street Art Festival ran annually each July from 2015 through 2020, turning stretches of the city into a temporary open-air gallery rather than a single-venue event.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Each documented edition repainted a new stretch of the city rather than maintaining a fixed mural district, so returning visitors across different years would have seen genuinely different work rather than a static outdoor gallery

02

The mystery stays covered

The festival drew on Sarajevo's own wartime tradition of political street art from the 1990s siege rather than importing an outside format, giving its murals a locally rooted visual language

03

The city starts moving

It combined visual-art production with live concerts and street performance in the same three-day run, blending a mural festival with a small music and performance program
