22 April - 7 May 1994

Location Tochiji Temple Auditorium P3

Suada Kapic, facilitator of FAMA, used to operate in Belgrade but moved back to Sarajevo where she was born just before the outbreak of the Bosnian war. Sarajevo, a place where regular people from different cultures and religions used to live peacefully side by side, was suddenly surrounded by heavy artillery and had snipers occupying the surrounding hills. She became a hostage in a city held hostage, just like the other citizens of Sarajevo.
The city's electricity, gas, and water supplies were cut. You could be shot if you stood next to a window. You might be bombed going to a market that had nothing to sell. The international city kept its humanity and dignity by challenging fundamentalism, maintaining diversity, and continuing its ordinary day-to-day activities in the face of an impossible situation.
The exhibition was the collected wisdom of the life of the citizens of Sarajevo, which was never reported in the mainstream media.
Suada Kapic was invited to travel to Japan from the besieged city in November 1994 and a Japanese edition of the Sarajevo Survival Guide was published by Sanshukan Publishing. Her visit was covered by various television networks.
