Lecture by Sabina Sabolović |  My Sweet Little Lamb (Everything we see can also be otherwise)| Museum of Contemporary Art, Skopje, 7 March 2018, 20.00 h.

Press to Exit Project Space together with Museum of Contemporary Art invites you to the lecture by Sabina Sabolović, member of the curatorial collective What, How & for Whom/WHW. 

Sabina Sabolović will present the practice of the curatorial collective she is part of - What, How & for Whom/WHW – which is concerned with continuous reconfiguration of the relationships of artistic and cultural production with notions of history and politics.  The presentation will be focused on their most recent project My Sweet Little Lamb (Everything we see can also be otherwise) they co-curated in collaboration with Kathrin Rhomberg.  Titled after a work by Croatian artist Mladen Stilinović (1947-2016), the project was inspired by his life-long anti-systematic artistic approach that searched for more autonomous ways of artistic production.

Tendencies of nationalism and populism are the case all over Europe. What can we learn from each other, what are the needs of art initiatives in Central and South-East Europe and how can we work together?
