The initial seminar of the new cycle of the Critical Practice (Made in YU) program will focus on recent critical discourses in performing arts and culture, coming from the cultural space of Yugoslavia. We will combine different formats of work: discussions of assigned readings, interviews with invited authors, and internal group work meetings / talks.
The seminar is followed with a reading list proposed by Ana Vujanović; the texts selected to be discussed or talked about with invited authors are to be read in advance.
The seminar is supposed to result in a new reading list, composed of the texts proposed by the participants. Further seminar-like situations will be self-organized.
