Presentation - Jednostavno rečeno
September 17 at 19:30
We invite you to a presentation of the work and practices of Belgrade based collective "Jednostavno rečeno" (Simply Put) in Radio Kolektiv in Prizren, on September 17th and 1930 - Nenad Pinter and Luka Knežević Strika will present two of the publications and the work and experiences in previous several years.
Jednostavno rečeno is an organization whose focus is on researching, collecting and mediating legacies of the industrial heritage of Yugoslavia as reflected in the stories of the country’s important factories. Founded in 2021, the initiative is led by artists, researchers and cultural workers with many years of experience in urban and cultural policies, activism, social security/welfare and contemporary art. Our aim is to bring to light and reexamine specific values of the industrialization period, including the importance of public goods and the heritage of self-governance, which had an immense influence on everyday life, culture,work organization, and social and economic equality.
Through direct encounters and participation, we seek to establish solidarity networks of cooperation with people connected to the former large industrial centers in the country, to collect, document and archive their stories and testimonies and present them to the local, regional and international community.
Through the direct experiences of the workers, the project opens a treasury of ideas and knowledge stored in the memory of the workers, which we see as important resources in democratic innovation today, implementing values of participation and active citizenship in all aspects of society. Our research is channeled through different media such as photography, video, publications, exhibitions, and we foster connections with the local archives, collections, native museums, libraries and other cultural institutions as well as other organizations from the field of culture (both art and heritage), research and activism.
