Naughty Legacy
Naughty Legacy
- New alliances
When it comes to the region of ex-Yugoslavia, all the way along its transition decades, a subject which doesn't lose its relevance is the revitalization of the cultural legacy of the National Liberation Movement, as well as its reflection in the context of contemporary art. Recently, regional projects that were successful in doing so are the ones founded in the NGO area. The majority of 'em doesn't use visual vocabulary representing the ideology they are dealing with, but embraces more progressive of its values in order to explore fresh politics of memory; that is: the "communicative memory" (dynamic, unstable and in permanent change), as opposed to the "cultural memory" that exemplifies the product of static, post-Yugoslav nation states. Both segments make up what is commonly referred to as "collective memory". How does such a space behave at the level of globally networked digital culture, which is by definition transnational, is in fact a question I would like to find the answer to.
