Museum of Contemporary Art

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?

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.
