In her overnight bag: a notebook, a toiletry kit, a duvet, a cube of nougat, and something that shouldn\u2019t be there. In her head: memories of the Venus de Milo, of land art and the American road, of romance and travel and immigration and war \u2013 and of her father, who after each of their many visits to the Louvre would ask just how she\u2019d go about stealing the Mona Lisa. <em>Like A Sky Inside<\/em> is an insightful and heartfelt meditation on the possibilities and impossibilities of art, on parenthood and the betrayals of growing up, on foreignness and belonging, and on the secret conversations between our souls and the places that linger in our dreams.<\/p>\n<p><em>Like A Sky Inside<\/em> was released in the United States in March 2024.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fernfernfern.com\/skyinside\">Find more information here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Program<\/h3>\n<p>Jakuta Alikavazovic will be on tour in the US in May 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Her public program will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Thursday, May 2: conversation with Anna Wiener @ <a href=\"https:\/\/citylights.com\/events\/jakuta-alikavazovic\/\">City Lights<\/a> (San Francisco, CA) \u2013 event in English;<\/li>\n<li>Friday, May 3: conversation @ Alliance Fran\u00e7aise San Francisco (San Francisco, CA) \u2013 event in French;<\/li>\n<li>Saturday, May 4: conversation @ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thirdplacebooks.com\/event\/jakuta-alikavazovic-like-a-sky-inside\">Third Place Books<\/a> (Seattle, WA) \u2013 event in English;<\/li>\n<li>Monday, May 6: conversation with Carole Geneix @ <a href=\"https:\/\/lostcitybookstore.com\/new-events\/2024\/5\/6\/like-a-sky-inside-by-jakuta-alikavazovic\">Lost City Books<\/a> (Washington DC) \u2013 event in English;<\/li>\n<li>Wednesday, May 8: conversation with Katie Kitamura and Lila Azam Zanganeh @ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcnallyjackson.com\/event\/jakuta-alikavazovic-katie-kitamura-lila-azam-zanganeh-event\">McNally Jackson Soho<\/a> (New York, NY) \u2013 event in English;<\/li>\n<li>Thursday, May 9: conversation with Ben Lerner @ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.albertine.com\/events\/like-a-sky-inside-an-evening-with-jakuta-alikavazovic-ben-lerner\/\">Albertine<\/a> (New York, NY) \u2013 event in English.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information, please email Valentine Richet at <a href=\"mailto: valentine.richet@villa-albertine.org\" data-cke-saved-href=\"mailto: valentine.richet@villa-albertine.org\">valentine.richet@villa-albertine.org<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":377530,"menu_order":0,"template":"","app_discipline":[213],"app_city_tax":[217,225,226],"app_professional_category":[260],"app_professional_content_type":[254],"class_list":["post-376528","app_professional","type-app_professional","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","app_discipline-literature","app_city_tax-nyc","app_city_tax-sf","app_city_tax-dc","app_professional_category-books-ideas","app_professional_content_type-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Author on Tour: Jakuta Alikavazovic - Villa Albertine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/va\/professionals\/author-on-tour-jakuta-alikavazovic\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Author on Tour: Jakuta Alikavazovic - Villa Albertine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"About Jakuta Alikavazovic Jakuta Alikavazovic was born in Paris to a family of Bosnian and Montenegrin origins.
