How quickly life can change, from peace to war, is a powerful memory for Romana Vlahutin that continues to shape her life and work to this day: Born and raised in the Croatian coastal city of Dubrovnik, she remembers an „incredibly comfortable, happy and easy life that was almost overnight interrupted by war.“ At the time, she was studying comparative literature, theater and art. „How can you go from complete comfort to darkness within 24 hours? It’s possible, and it happens,“ says Vlahutin.
