Urlici - experiential workshop as part of the School of Radical Education

Gorgona Hall and the exhibition space of "Realise! Resist! React! Performance and Politics in the Post-Yugoslav Context of the 1990s"
Museum of Contemporary Art
Saturday, February 17, 2024, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m
Sunday, February 18, 2024, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m

We invite you to a two-day experiential workshop where we will explore the voice as a community medium, that is, language as a resource and repository of our individual and collective experiences, states and feelings. Seeking answers to our inner questions and needs, we will focus on collaborative listening, writing and performing practices. Collectively breaking the silence, we will activate the listening space so that our daily struggle will echo through the ossified bowels of the Museum. What are we not talking about with each other that we should? What do the voices tell us when the silence is broken? How do I feel? What do I need?

Because it is no longer possible to remain silent without becoming complicit. This program is part of the Museum of the Commons project, part of L’Internationale, a confederation of the 14 European museums and other cultural institutions for contemporary art.

Ethics of the Display – a discussion about presenting ethically complex content

18.01.2024. - 18.01.2024. / MSU, Black Box

 

With: museum advisor of the Archaeological Museum Zagreb Jacqueline Balen, research journalists of Jutarnji list Slavica Lukić and Kristina Turčin, deputy editor-in-chief of Novosti, historian and writer Tihomir Ponoš

Hosted by: MSU curator Leila Topić

The direct impulse for the discussion Ethics of the Display was the dilemma that plagued the curatorial team of the exhibition His Supporting Hand – Curating the Curator: Davor Matičević (Leila Topić, Željko Luketić, Leri Ahel) about how to present documentary content we wanted both to show and to hide. More accurately, the newspaper documents from different local weeklies from the 1990s which, sometimes in quite an obnoxious and inappropriate way, presented the private life, the course of illness and death of Davor Matičević.
