At the highway interchange in Sarajevo where the M17 (east-west) and M18 (south-north) meet, a small but awesome open-air gallery is located on the outer wall surfaces along the M18’s southeastern exit ramp. You could call it a „graffiti hall,“ though it is essentially the exclusive domain of HADES, who has covered almost the entire wall with numerous fantastic pieces.

The space is enclosed by a large fence, and you can only play here with permission. But even when it’s closed, you can still check out the many graffiti pieces on the walls. There are quite a few high-quality works here, with bigger elaborated styles, and it’s likely that some jam sessions have taken place around the court as well.

With its monumental busts, the Mali Park in Sarajevo preserves a piece of the literary history of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The first portraits of writers were created as early as 1951, including works by the renowned sculptor VOJIN BAKIĆ. The series was expanded after the war: in 2011, sculptor ENES SIVAC created new busts of the poet Izet Sarajlić; after the busts of Derviš Sušić and Ćamil Sijarić were stolen, the artist also crafted replacements for them in 2013. Thus, several generations of Bosnian-Herzegovinian writers meet in Mali Park today, united in bronze and stone.
