The Museum of Contemporary Art announces the exhibition The Arts of Resistance (TAoR) as part of the international project of the same name. The exhibition will open on May 8 and run until June 21, 2025, presenting the results of months of research and co-creative processes exploring the connections between historical, cultural, social, political, and physical ecologies of resistance against fascism.

The Arts of Resistance project, initiated by artists Ruth Anderwald + Leonhard Grond from the HASENHERZ association, brings together young artists, researchers, and experts to explore historical contexts of resistance through a co-creative approach and reinterpret them through contemporary art. Drawing from Umberto Eco’s text We Are European (2019), the project examines Europe as an experiment in peace, identity, and resistance against fascism—both in the past and today.

Andreja Kulunčić: To Make the World a Better Place

15.05.2025. - 12.10.2025. / MSU, 1. i 2. kat povremenih izložbi

* The exhibition opening is on May 15, 2025 at 7 p.m. *

Visual artist Andreja Kulunčić, whose work is one of the key oeuvres of socially engaged artistic practice in Croatia, presents herself for the first time with an all-encompassing solo exhibition that brings an overview of her artistic activity from the 1990s to the present day. The basis of the exhibition is the research and analysis of the potential of contemporary socially engaged visual artistic practice in changing the existing social situation, i.e., the artist’s statement that socially engaged art makes the world a better place with its doing. In her artistic practice, Andreja Kulunčić indicates the social injustices – she identifies them, studies their causes, and examines the possible manners of resistance. Her art is not only a reflection of reality, but also a tool for change which stimulates the audience into critical thinking and active participation.
