3 pm – 8 pm : Exhibition
TURBA Factory invites media artist Mirjana Mitrović to present her artistic practice as part of a workshop and exhibition.
The workshop playfully deconstructs the chapter “M [The Flâneur]” in Walter Benjamin’s “Passages”. We’ll delve into the century-old tradition of flânerie, exploring how it can be applied in the current urban space from a (queer)feminist and postcolonial perspective. Afterwards, participants will stroll from Turba Factory onto the streets, collecting impression-fragments along the way. At the end, each participant will have the opportunity to present their impressions.
After the workshop, the public and workshop attendees are invited to explore Mitrović’s project “Fragmented (hi)stories” at TURBA Factory. Mitrović draws inspiration from the archive of her mother, examining the significance of family records in the 21st Century and various forms of intergenerational and transnational memory transfer. The exhibited work represents the artist’s initial steps into the living fabric of oral traditions, collected documents, and of various objects. Experimentally, she engages with the existential question of endings and beginnings between dream and reality.
