Modelling Public Space(s) in Culture_ conference in Skopje

The next segment of the collaborative project DISSONANT (CO) SPACES, a three day international conference entitled MODELLING PUBLIC SPACE(S) IN CULTURE is taking place in Skopje, Macedonia on October 12-14, 2017 at Kino Kultura.

–

The Conference Modelling Public Spaces in Culture is one of the activities of The Dissonant (Co)Spaces project, aiming to offer diverse thematic overview on “the public space” as a physical location that creates social ties and “the public sphere” as the collection of attributes contributing to the formation of public discourse.

At the conference, public spaces will be reviewed and discussed through two different aspects:

1. Revisionism and production of the history of culture and institution. In this thematic focus we will mostly engage in the modernist heritage from socialist Yugoslavia, critically examining the term “dissonant heritage”, and its usage in the contemporary context of culture. Another focal point is the development history of the institution in former Yugoslavia.

2. Organizational and institutional innovative approaches in governing and modelling institutions, or proposing new models of public spaces as new models of institutions. We will try to examine diverse approaches such as commons, participation and usership in modelling the new public spaces. These thematic focuses will be developed in thematic modes of presentation, interviews, lectures, discussions etc.

**** About the project: The Dissonant (Co)Spaces is a collaborative project involving three regional CSO’s: Lokomotiva from Skopje, the Foundation Jelena Šantić from Belgrade and Loose Associations (Slobodne veze) from Zagreb.

The project aims to reflect possibilities for reaffirming derelict, abandoned or “in between” spaces (due to unresolved ownership status or other issues) created within different socio-political and spatial paradigms, by exploring what those spaces can denote today as well as their potential for inclusion and civic participation through public debate, arts and culture.

This project is seen as an attempt to question and explore current processes of history and space-making, while preserving some of the common values and memory by developing new spaces for culture that will promote openness, horizontality, solidarity and inclusion. We aspire towards reactivating and re-making the spaces by producing new content, while preserving memory layers and developing a discursive field in which they will be reflected. –
