Forward and Additional photographs by Leslie Fratkin.

Fratkin first went to ex-Yugoslavia and the city of Sarajevo in 1995, meeting with local photographers, filmmakers and other artists. Their experiences of war and the four-year siege of their city led her to create Sarajevo Self-Portrait: The View from Inside.

Sarajevo Self-Portrait is a book and traveling international exhibition conceived, produced and designed by Leslie Fratkin. Other events included a panel discussion with seven well-known writers and journalists who each spent time in ex-Yugoslavia and wrote about the war, a talk and presentation of photographs by the photographers from Sarajevo Self-Portrait and other prominent photographers who covered the war, and a talk and Q & A with Richard Holbrooke, Secretary of State and architect of the Dayton Peace Accords which ended the war in Bosnia.
