Diary of an Invisibility

Diary of an Invisibility is a documentary film, stage work, and public conversation project about the lived reality of oncology treatment in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is built around the voices of patients and families, as well as the wider systems that shape what care feels like in practice. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, what cancer patients endure is not only the illness, but the waiting, uncertainty, and struggle to access care. Alongside diagnosis and treatment, patients and their families navigate delays, shortages, unclear and inconsistent information, long and exhausting travel for treatment, and additional costs, often with the sense that essential care depends more on timing, geography, or persistence than on need alone. Much of that experience remains invisible - the strain, the emotional toll, and the quiet erosion of trust. The project brings these experiences into public view through testimony, documentary research, and artistic interpretation through the theatre play.
