To accompany 'Our Many Easts', the summer school hosted by MG+MSUM in Ljubljana, L’Internationale Online is publishing a reading list. Comprising contributions suggested by the School’s speakers and hosts, the reading list offers contextual material for those both present in Ljubljana and for the platform’s wider readership.
In the last week of August 2024, Moderna galerija in Ljubljana is organizing its third international summer school, this time entitled Our Many Easts. The 2024 summer school continues to focus on themes related to Eastern Europe, with a special emphasis on the expanded notion and understanding of the East, its arts, artists, art collectives, and the social and political contexts that have defined the geopolitical-social-cultural East(s) over the last decade.
The summer school will offer many different perspectives on the idea of the East(s), starting with the question: What is left of the idea of Eastern Europe today? This broad theme will cover topics such as the legacy of the Eastern European avant-gardes, archives as tools of emancipation, the new 'non-aligned' networks, art in times of conflict and war, ecology and the environment. The summer school will be organized around five themes: The East and Beyond, The Yugoslav Socialist Project as a Source of Knowledge, The Non-Aligned Movement, Film-History-Archives, and Social Ecology.
