LECTURE | Olivier Hadouchi, Towards an Aesthetics of Southern Uprisings
Reporters from former Yugoslavia like Zdravko Pečar and Stevan Labudović documented the Algerian War of Independence; their country was part of the Non-Aligned Movement, promoting anti-colonialism and the right to national independence, and they had links with many nations (and sometimes liberation movements) in the South (Asia, Africa and Latin America).
Olivier Hadouchi lives and works in Paris. He holds a PhD in cinema studies and is a film curator and researcher (associated with IRCAV – Paris 3).

Moderna galerija and the Elementary school Livada in Ljubljana
A series of four workshops took place at the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova. The participants were migrant pupils from former republics of Yugoslavia and refugees from Syria and India. They all visit elementary school Livada, located in a suburban area to the south of Ljubljana called Rakova Jelša, where there used to be the largest unregulated settlement of migrants from Bosnia after the Balkan War in the 1990s. The majority of pupils in the school come from Bosnia, and most of them still do not speak Slovene well. The number of new pupils increased in the last year with the children of the asylum seekers from Syria, Iran, and Afghanistan, who live in the nearby asylum home in Vič. The aim of the workshops was to stimulate co-learning instead of competition, to encourage spontaneity, self-confidence, a positive self-image, and persistence.The results will be presented in an encounter with participants' parents, teachers, museum animators and friends.
