Photography Month is Slovakia’s longest-running photography festival and will be held for the 36th time in 2026. Throughout November, it features exhibitions, talks, conferences and film screenings in galleries across Bratislava. The exhibition ‘Scenarios for Peace’ by Vienna-based photographer Sissa Micheli draws on her series ‘Mountain Pieces – Reflecting History’, in which she explores Alpine landscapes and the history embedded within them. Places that we now associate with nature, freedom and relaxation were once the scenes of military strategies, shifting borders and violent conflicts. Landscapes are never merely landscapes. They bear the traces of history, memory and human action, even where these are no longer visible. Beneath seemingly untouched beauty, stories of violence, political conflicts and wars are sometimes concealed. The exhibition, organised to mark Photography Month, ultimately poses the question: can places scarred by war become spaces of remembrance, and can new scenarios for peace emerge from these memories?
