Amel Bešlagić was born in Prijedor, Bosnia and Herzegovina. He graduated in architecture from Yildiz Technical University in Istanbul, Turkey, and then pursued a master's degree in architecture at Graz University of Technology in Austria.
His role as an assistant at the Institute for Contemporary Art at the Graz University of Technology allowed him to combine his interests in architecture and analogue photography, which he uses as a research tool to document the socio-political environment of Prijedor, exploring its complex narratives through various photographic methods.
As part of the multimedia exhibition "Four Faces of Omarska," he exhibited his works in Belgrade and Berlin. In addition, his works were shown at exhibitions in Kozarac, Sarajevo, and Graz. Amel continuously focuses on the relationship between architecture and the social context in which it exists, contributing to the understanding of his hometown and its challenges.
