Dissident Histories. Insurgent Futurities

Exhibition: 08 10 2024 – 15 12 2024 

Marina GRŽINIĆ with Aina ŠMID, Tjaša KANCLER, Jovita PRISTOVŠEK

The central reference point around which the concept of Marina Gržinić’s exhibition was organized is the process of reassessing our perspective on the changes taking place in art and culture under the weight of migration. Irreversible.

At the heart of the exhibition lies a focal point on the 40-year journey of video-film and installation work by Marina Gržinić and Aina Šmid. This showcase not only celebrates their collaborative oeuvre, which began in 1982 and has left a profound artistic and political impact across former Yugoslavia, Slovenia, and beyond, but also introduces a fresh collaborative venture involving Marina Gržinić, Tjaša Kancler, and Jovita Pristovšek, which began in 2022.
