YUFU Conference

19. 11., 9.00–16.30 @ MGLC Švicarija
International conference

While post-communist, post-socialist and post-Yugoslav discourses merely reinforce the appearance of an unchanging and unstable present with a more or less accurate expression of the situation, Yugofuturism follows the example of other ethnofuturist movements such as Afrofuturism, Sinofuturism, Baltic Ethnofuturism and Hungarofuturism, which tactically empower peripheral identities and subversively affirm individual cultural curiosities.

Participating: eurovicious, Vera Mevorah, Mladen Zobec, Tibor Hrs Pandur, Dinko Kreho, Enea Kavčič in Maks Valenčič aka Fast Right.

Organizing Committee: Rok Bozovičar, Pia Brezavšček, Alja Lobnik, Muanis Sinanović, Lili Šturm.

In cooperation with Zavod Maska.
