In the program are included artists, lecturers and actors of the cultural scene from Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Kosovo and Germany. In the frame of the four day program, there will be more then 40 participants from various cultural backgrounds, taking place: visual artists, musicians, theorists, curators… *‚Private | Public’ was made possible by Goethe-Institute Liaison Skopje and Robert Bosch Foundation.* *“On Sunday night a young man got killed by a member of the special police forces on the main square in Skopje. This provoked a series of protests in the city which we actively support. We decided to continue with our planned activities of "Private | Public" anyway, because we consider them as a critical statement to the current situation in themselves. We live in a situation where politicians and party activists predominantly design content for us. Our way to oppose this is to constantly produce alternative content and provide a context for further discussion and rethinking of socio-cultural questions.”* -- Elena Veljanovska + 389 (0) 72 318 476 Skype: elena.veljanovska
