Srebrenička porodica na ivici siromaštva

Slike iz života u zabačenom selu, odakle jedna bošnjačka porodica nema gde da ode.

Wednesday, 19 March, 2014

Ove fotografije prikazuju jedanaestogodišnju Azeminu i njene roditelje, Muju i Hatu Sulejmanović, koji žive u selu Brgule, u srednjoj Bosni.

Mujo i Hata Sulejmanović su Bošnjaci (bosansko-hercegovački Muslimani) iz Srebrenice (istočna Bosna i Hercegovina), koju su snage bosansko-hercegovačkih Srba zauzele u julu 1995. Narednih je dana nad preko 7,000 bošnjačkih muškaraca i dečaka bio izvršen masakr.

Poput mnogih drugih raseljenih ljudi, Sulejmanovići su u stalnoj potrazi za trajnim domom. U njihovom se slučaju lutanje okončalo u Domu kulture u Brgulama, gde žive u jednoj sobi sa betonskim podom, bez kuhinje ili kupatila.

Azemina je jedino dete u Brgulama i nema s kim da se igra. Jedini ljudi koji još uvek žive u tom selu su pripadnici šest staračkih domaćinstava.

Najbliža škola udaljena je 15 kilometara, a Azemina je retko pohađa, jer su joj roditelji suviše siromašni da bi imali automobil ili mogli da joj plate prevoz.

Više o svemu tome se može pročitati u tekstu "Usamljenički život izbegle bosanske porodice".

Ove fotografije načinila je Sanja Vrzić, arhitektkinja, fotografkinja i grafička dizajnerka iz Sarajeva. Specijalnost su joj fotografije pejzaža, kao i dokumentarne i fotografije iz oblasti kulture.
