»We should never abandon the possibility of our active presence«

 

This dialogue is based on a video recording of Zdenka Badovinac’s workshop at the international summer school "The Big Shift − the 1990s: The Avant-Gardes in Eastern Europe and Their Legacy", organized by the Moderna galerija (MG+MSUM) in Ljubljana in 2019 as part of Our Many Europes program. The workshop consisted of Zdenka Badovinac’s lecture followed by a series of questions posed by the participating students acting as co-moderators. The participants were also involved in the post-production of the video, which took until June 2021; in the meantime, Europe had seen some radical social and political changes.

This dialogue is part of THE CONSTITUENT MUSEUM IN DIALOGUE, a series of conversations discussing the emancipatory possibilities and limits of museums. Find related talks, and read more on The Constituent Museum in Dialogue.
