With great pleasure, KRAK Center announces that the grantee of the Revizor Scholarship for 2024 is musician Nedim Zlatar. With his continuous efforts in the field of experimental music, Zlatar profiled himself as one of the leading figures who have given new momentum to this artistic line in Bosnia and Herzegovina through a strong expressive stimulus. Believing in the importance of the emancipatory power of sound in the art of our time, and considering electronic and instrumental music as important segments of contemporary culture, the Revizor Foundation and KRAK Center have recognized Nedim Zlatar as a strong example, and his practice justifies such a decision.

Zlatar is a self-effacing artistic personality, music producer and author from Sarajevo who gained recognition under the pseudonym Basheskia. His artistic genome is determined by the legacy of the 1990s war, especially the cultural practice which developed during the long-term siege of Sarajevo. Zlatar profiled his musical style through two decades of continuous work in independent music production, for theater or television. He has been collaborating with the Sarajevo record company Gramofon since 2004. He performed at numerous music festivals and theaters, and collaborated with prominent artists on the film, theater and music scene in Bosnia and Herzegovina and beyond.

The most recent musical production of Nedim Zlatar is rooted in the typical dilemmas of a modern individual in today's changing and unstable world. In the latest projects, Zlatar conceptualizes his past and projects a personal image distorted through disturbances caused by local and global social and political situations to which it is difficult to remain immune. Participation and cooperation on the Basheskia & Edward EQ project, i.e. cooperation with opera singer Leonard Šarić, suggests a distinct artistic maturity, marked by continuous work in the field of alternative music and different artistic expression in our environment.

Revizor Scholarship for 2024 is 6,000 KM and was made possible due to private donations and the support of the organization Bosnienfreunde Hamm.
