To Friends

This book is a document of a practice-based research coming to grips with a constellation of struggles at the intersection of social, environmental, and climate justice. The narratives are embedded in mirko nikolić’s diasporic being in the period between 2020 and 2025, moving between North Europe and the Balkans—their cores and (semi-)peripheries.

Written by mirko nikolić.
