Balkan(s) now

Seminar and artistic survey

October 25 and 26, 2013

City Art Museum Ljubljana, Mestni trg 5, Ljubljana

You are cordially invited to attend the seminar and artistic survey on 
Friday and Saturday at City Art Museum Ljubljana. Barbara Borčić, 
SCCA-Ljubljana director and head of video programs, will participate at 
the panel Cross-border artistic and institutional networking; the 
ex-Yugoslav context as a model for Europe.

Balkan(s) now aims to actively engage with current artistic practice in 
countries of former Yugoslavia as we believe that a much-needed 
political artistic practice is being shaped in countries such as Serbia, 
Macedonia, Kosovo or Slovenia: a practice that relies on 
self-empowerment, strong networking across the region and a 
pro-European, yet critical attitude. For that reason looking at the 
artistic landscape anywhere south of the Austrian border, one discovers 
a vivid, particularly interconnected art scene that stands strong.
