Experimenting with Networks, Technologies and Political Hurdles: kuda.org on their Origins and Current Challenges A Conversation with Borka Stojić and Zoran Pantelić, moderator: Lina Dokuzović Audio to be released today, 6 March, at 18:00 CET Novi Sad-based organization kuda.org had its origins in art production, but evolved to become a central player in influencing cultural policy making as a response to the stagnation and incapacity of their corrupt post-transition landscape. Through the building, development, and fostering of an ecosystem of translocal partnerships that traverse art production, theory, technopolitics, research, publishing, music production, performance, and experimentation across the board, self-education and care has lied at the core of their practices. In this discussion, we reflect on the complex landscape within which they are situated, the possibilities they created when confronted with impossibilities, the conditions of hopelessness and hope in their environment, recent collaborations and publications, as well as some reflections on decolonial and feminist perspectives. https://transversal.at/audio/ https://transversal.at/blog/transversal-audio-season-spring2024   Next Wednesday, 13 March: Reflections on Care and Yugofuturism: The Publishing Practices of Theater Platform Maska A Conversation with Alja Lobnik, Aleš Mendiževec and Pia Brezavšček, moderator: Lina Dokuzović Ljubljana-based theater platform Maska began over a century ago with a journal for critically reflecting and discussing theater practices. Today, they support the theater scene while continuing and challenging the legacy of the organization and its publishing practices. Some of their most recent publications include Bojana Kunst’s book Politics of Care at the Crossroad of Art and Life (translated and published by transversal texts as Das Leben der Kunst. Transversale Linien der Sorge). Shortly after the centennial edition of Maska’s journal, they developed both a journal issue – as well as a series of other events and debates in the months that followed – around the notion of Yugofuturism. Drawing parallels between the potentials and traumas of past and present, and linking to notions of futuring of the Global South, they propose the use of multiple temporalities to challenge the present and create hope for the future. In this discussion, we reflect on the challenges of taking over such a long-standing institution and legacy, the importance of care in cultural work, and some perspectives on Yugofuturism.  Upcoming events Publishing and Becoming-Public after Social Media Workshop, Vienna, 19 March 2024, 12:00 - open end https://transversal.at/event/publishing-and-becoming-public-after-social-media Das Leben der Kunst.
