Miranda Myrberg
Country of origin: Sweden
“ I became very interested in the the former
Yugoslavia during my first master’s degree
studies when I was examining regional feminist
anti-militaristic organizations that were
cooperating with one another to resist aggressive
nationalist agendas. For my CEU master’s I chose
to study Bosnian culture and the resistance to
nationalism with the use of arts-based initiatives,
which really demands a lot of local time and
integration into the art scene. CEU’s location
has allowed me to easily travel back and forth
to conduct my research.“
