Zvjezdane staze

Zvjezdane staze Independent artist residency in central Bosnia and Herzegovina, near the medieval fortress of Bobovac. Founded by Belma Bešlić-Gál.

Sound, music, visual and media arts, literature, performance. The Artist in Residence programme Zvjezdane staze [AiRZS] is an independent, non-profit, primarily privately funded initiative, envisioned in 2019 by the Austrian composer, pianist and curator Belma Bešlić-Gál. Nestled amidst the montanious landscape of central Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the village of Mijakovići – which was recently na

med one of the most beautiful villages in the country – this pioneering project is set to make its debut in July 2024. The aim is to bring together internationally renowned professionals with up-and-coming artists in the immediate vicinity of the historic site of Bobovac, the former royal residence of the Bosnian kings from the Kotromanić dynasty. The initiative is based on an ethos rooted in inclusivity and collaboration, offering an inspiring environment where visiting artists can participate in creation, co-creation, and re-creation. It strives to champion the dissemination of culture, the engagement of the local community, the cultivation of cross-sector partnerships, the stimulation of economic growth, and the enduring sustainability of our various activities. In essence, it is about establishing an Incubator of Ideas that could potentially have a far-reaching impact not only on the cultural and artistic development of the local community, but on the region as a whole. While contemporary classical and experimental music and performance art will play a central role, the overall scope of our initiative extends to a wide range of artistic expressions including visual arts and literature. By collaborating with artists, ensembles, associations, foundations and institutions locally and internationally, we aim to build long-term relationships with cultural and touristic institutions. Despite the region’s far-reaching historical significance, up to now, it has remained largely uncharted by the international artistic community. The project aims at creating new opportunities for further societal and artistic development. It lays the foundations for lasting partnerships and collaborations that can contribute to the overall picture of European culture.

It's been quiet on here for quite some time, but not behind the scenes: Zvjezdane Staze is launching into 2026!

After a long stretch of building, writing, translating and planning, our brand new website is finally live, and we're building a growing network of partners and cooperations across the region and internationally.

We're looking forward to all the artists we'll be hosting this year, to the projects and concerts, and to the encounters we can't predict yet. We're curious to see how our new programme formats will come to life, and especially proud of Zvjezdani Vrt, our land art and digital garden project that has been growing quietly alongside everything else.

If you want to stay up to date, subscribe to our newsletter or check our Open Calls.

More TBA soon. Stay tuned!
