<\/span>Keynote: Gal Kirn –<\/span> “How to Deal with the Partisan Legacy: Yesterday and Today”<\/strong> \/\/ lecture
<\/span>The lecture will encompass the pivotal points of the “Yugoslav experiment,” what I refer to as three partisan breakthroughs: the National Liberation War (NOB), the Non-Aligned Movement, and self-management. I will be interested in exploring how these pivotal points, especially the NOB, have been attempted to be “remembered,” changed, and continued in cultural and artistic productions. Has utopia shifted into the realm of culture? I will take some productive examples of this legacy from the socialist era (political films by \u017delimir \u017dilnik, monuments of the revolution, etc.) and some examples of how these legacies are approached today (gatherings, digital archives, the Women’s Antifascist Front, memory activism).<\/span><\/p>\n
Lunch Break<\/strong><\/p>\n
Gala Kirn: <\/span>Utopias and visions of the past as inspiration and tools for a better future<\/strong> \/\/ working session
<\/span>After the lecture by Gala Kirn, which will provide a perspective on the cultural and artistic production in Slovenia and beyond in the context of the legacies of the National Liberation War (NOB) and socialism, we will, together with our guests on the panel, address contemporary challenges in operating within the independent cultural and artistic scene in the region. By identifying shared experiences and sharing examples and experiments, we will try to formulate foundations for creating a more exciting future for independent performing arts production.
