Partizan★ke Art

In the organizer's words:

Aesthetics and Practices of Women's Resistance in Yugoslavia and Carinthia
The Art of Women's Resistance in Yugoslavia and Carinthia
Umetnost ženskega odpora v Jugoslaviji in na Koroškem
Umjetnost ženskoga otpora u Jugoslaviji i u Koruškoj

The artistic-scientific exhibition Partizan★ke Art focuses on the female resistance against the German occupation forces and the Axis powers in Yugoslavia and Carinthia/Koroška, which is still barely visible today. Behind the term partisan art lies a fascinating phenomenon that is unparalleled in art production: we understand art as resistance or culture as a subversive practice of Yugoslav and Carinthian-Slovenian partisans. The actors of the resistance were on the one hand part of the art avant-garde, on the other hand peasants 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 - will be shown as part of the exhibition Partizan★ke Art in April 2025 as part of a European history of resistance at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig.
