Partizan★ke Art. Aesthetics and Practices of Women’s Resistance in Yugoslavia and Carinthia
Time: Tuesday May 27th | 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM – July 18th
Location: Humboldt University Berlin, Institute for European Ethnology, Anton-Wilhelm-Amo-Str. (formerly M*str.) 40/41, 10117 Berlin
The exhibition Partizan★ke Art features scientific and artistic positions which illuminate the scarcely visible female resistance against the German occupation forces and the Axis powers in Yugoslavia and Carinthia/Koroška. The term „partisan art“ describes art as resistance or culture as a subversive practice of Yugoslav and Carinthian-Slovenian partisans. Cultural struggle included both avant-garde female artists and peasant women who expressed themselves in traditional forms of folk art. The subversive culture they created – literature, visual arts, film, photography, comics, textiles, graphics, theater, dance, and monument architecture – is contextualized as a crucial part of a European history of resistance.
