MG+MSUM | UPCOMING

Presentation of the book RED LIGHT – YUGOSLAV PARTISAN PHOTOGRAPHY AND SOCIAL MOVEMENT 1941–1945, published by Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung and Kolektor – the Visual Arts Center.

The conference will be dedicated to the question how to harness the historical visions of the non-alignment in the light of the current global geopolitical situation. Another important question will tackle the legacy of culture in the spirit of NAM's internationalism and its potentials for the present day.

The topic of the Glossary is repeating from the previous edition because we feel such wide referential fields can never be fully exhausted. Connecting to current research projects of the Internationale partners the referential field will explore alternative ways of making global alliances, either by drawing from historical case studies or addressing urgent meters. The aim of revisiting the referential field of Geopolitics is to seek potentials in producing different histories (narratives) that would have gone beyond the Eurocentric ones.

This year’s Summer School, organized by Moderna galerija, Ljubljana for the second year in a row, will continue to draw on the topics related to the legacy of Eastern European avant-gardes. A particular emphasis will be placed on the major changes caused by the collapse of socialism, the end of the Cold War and the restoration of capitalism in the late 1980s to the early 1990s.
