WORKSHOP | Fokus grupa: Monument List
The workshop, part of the project Monument List – Writing/Erasing: Monument Politics in Post-Socialist Times, will be led by Fokus grupa.
The project's aim is to document monuments that rehabilitate or glorify local collaborators, pro-fascist ideologies and figures, and ultranationalist narratives.
Participants will have the opportunity to critically engage with case studies on the website monumentlist.eu and present their own examples they believe should be included on the list of revisionist monuments.

CHILDREN’S WORKSHOP | (Un)Equal Geographies
We will ask ourselves what inequality and difference mean. When is difference welcome, and when does it feel threatening?
We will look for artworks by contemporary artists from around the world and see how they reflect on and respond to the world they live in. We’ll also get creative ourselves—designing hanging spatial installations made from old world maps.
We will cut, glue, and build. The results will be visually charming, unequal, and diverse worlds—but inclusive and accessible to all (their) inhabitants.
