Anes Husanović is well underway to complete his vision of an artistically united northeastern Bosnia. He organised workshops, spanning various genres, where participants could attain practical skills, such as: promotion, event planning and sound engineering. His workshops fostered community among young creatives as well as endowed them with ready-to-apply knowledge. Anes sought to build a bridge between Tuzla, Brčko, Gradačac, Doboj, Lukavac and Bijeljina on the basis of a shared commitment to creativity. Covered genres were as diverse as the towns themselves, spanning theater, electronic music production, painting and dance. At the first official workshop in Tuzla, sound engineer Darko Saračević gave young musicians hands-on experience in live- and studio sound engineering. This is especially important in the region, where oftentimes bands set themselves up without the assistance of an audio expert. Students learned the following day from the acclaimed bass guitar player Sandi Bratonja more about studio production and disseminating the recording post-event. Anes hopes that the Tuzla canton and its surrounding region can continue the effort of fostering synergy among people! 17
