Title
stove(s): cooking and heating objects
Subject
self-made stoves during the war in Sarajevo
Description
During the siege of Sarajevo and due to the lack of electricity, gas and heating in the winter time, citizens started to build wood-burning stoves of different sizes and materials. Stoves were made from aluminum pieces, of reused small or big empty food cans, pots for cooking and other materials. Many Modernist housing blocks didn’t and still don’t have chimneys, or had/have only one chimney that was not enough to warm up bigger apartments (over 60 square meters). Many citizens used windows where through the empty socket of a window a makeshift chimney was attached to a burning stove. As the siege was long and as all available trees in the cities were burned, and generally to buy wood for heating or cooking was very expensive, citizens were burning any wooden object they could find as floors, wardrobes, other furniture, toys, as well as books, shoes and clothes.
