The city of Rijeka has had a turbulent history.<br />
Over <strong>the</strong> years it was shaped by different<br />
rulers, languages, and systems of government.<br />
And so <strong>the</strong> fact that <strong>the</strong> city is named after<br />
a river seems a fitting metaphor. After World<br />
War I, however, this river became a border<br />
and divided <strong>the</strong> city into two parts:<br />
The Yugoslav district Sušak and <strong>the</strong> Italian<br />
district Fiume.<br />
When walking through <strong>the</strong> city today you<br />
might cross a red line – an art project by<br />
Damir Stojnić from 2018 which marks <strong>the</strong><br />
boundary wall and serves as a reminder of<br />
<strong>the</strong> former separation.<br />
