Jasmina Cibic / Ireland, Switzerland, United Kingdom / 2023 / World Premiere / 23 min.


synopsis

An artistically sophisticated performative rendition of speeches given at a conference of cultural workers in the former Yugoslavia in 1985 by artists, curators and cultural diplomats from the European South and the Middle and Far East, proposing strategies of self-determination and an emphasis on the autonomy of non-Western arts. The translation of these messages into acoustic, choreographic and architectural structures also reinforces the female voice that is missing from traditional narratives of the construction of the world today.

biography

Jasmina Cibic (1979) is a Slovenian multimedia artist. Her works and performances explore the mechanisms of soft power, i.e. the political use of art and the creation of the construct of national culture. Her film Tear Down and Rebuild (2015) was screened in the Czech Republic at Fotograf Festival.
