1. Lecture: Radical practices in art: Slovenia and neighbours;

In the lecture she will focus on some selected artists and projects from the
so-called former east of Europe. What she is interested in is the "internal
 re-articulation," being engendered beyond the neo-colonial positions of the
West, when the recycling of different histories does not refer to Western
 but to Eastern positions and conditions. An alternative history of the East
signifies a demand for the redefinition of this relation within contemporary
constructions and relations of power. The lecture will be accompanied by
slide presentation of works taken into a detailed discussion and with
selected video excerpts.
1. Lecture: Women, poetics, politics and video;
it will be about video art in the Balkans and women works especially in
this field and from this territory. The lecture will not focused some much on
femininity, but on strategically inventions and approaches by women artists.
