My writing of No Candy stems from a need to respond to ŠEJLA KAMERIC what is happening—and what has always happened—to was born in women during war and ethnic conflict. I felt inadequate to Sarajevo, Bosnia form a response. But I started thinking about the Bosnian and Herzegovina. War, and what happened in Srebrenica: where 8,000 She has received Muslim men were killed and the women sexually assaulted widespread acclaim and tortured. As the play began to unfold, it became for her poignant very important not to focus on the trauma but on how a intimacy and community of women moves forward. In her conversations social commentary. with me, Bosnian artist Sejla Kameric, who was a teenager Based on her at the time of the war, insisted on the duality of lightness own experiences, living alongside atrocity and trauma. That during the war, memories and there were sunny days, babies being born, Nirvana blasting dreams, which through teenager’s headphones, and as she states in her were influenced by artwork: “we were chilling by the pool when the war started.” the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992–1995), Kameric’s work takes us to spaces of displacement and discrimination. The weight of her “we were chilling by the pool themes stands in powerful contrast to her individual aesthetics and to her choice of delicate materials. when the war started” This work, Bosnian Girl (2003) shows an image of the artist along with graffiti written by an unknown Dutch soldier on a wall of the army barracks in Potocari, Srebrenica, 1994/95. Royal Netherlands This duality of art, music, humor, and birth existing Army troops, as part of the UN Protection Force alongside war not only represented the tenacity of the (UNPROFOR) in Bosnia and Herzegovina 1992–95, human spirit, but it directed me to think about how they are were responsible for protecting the Srebrenica also tools with which to observe something very difficult. safe area. That through humor and art, a community can hold her trauma in her hands, observe it, speak to it, and transform it into something else.
