As part of Les Journées de la culture
Exhibition from September 16 to October 15, 2023
Artist Tamara Vukov explains her work and her project tranzicija triptychs, on display in the small gallery from September 16 to October 14, 2023. This will be followed by a tour of the exhibition with the artist.
The immersive video installation tranzicija triptychs condenses a long cycle of the forthcoming durational multiplatform documentary project Tranzicija [Transition]. It emerges from Tamara Vukov’s deeper encounters and collective cinematic inquiry with grassroots movement-building among workers’ movements in Serbia from 2005 onwards. These emerged in response to the drastic privatization programs that were imposed in the entire post-Yugoslav region in the wake of the disastrous wars of the 1990s and the post-2000 phase of transition to capitalism.
