I am Marina Mitrinović, a sophomore in the School of Foreign Service from the Chicago suburbs, hoping to major in Culture and Politics and complete a certificate in Eurasian, Russian, and Eastern European Studies. I gravitated towards the intersection between art and international politics with the hope of making political issues human issues through the personal connection that art can establish. I am particularly interested in how art can be used in post-conflict areas and areas currently in conflict to promote healing and reconciliation.
