Dancing, Resisting, (Un)Working – Aspects of Dance as a Cultural, Political, and Art Work in Yugoslavia and After

exhibition
MSU Zagreb, 20 November 2024–28 February 2025

Nomad Dance Academy, a regional contemporary dance network, is opening the first exhibition of contemporary choreographic practices in the former Yugoslavia at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb as part of the European project (Non)Aligned Movements. It explores the artistic, cultural and production contexts of contemporary dance from North Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia. It situates the selected works and examples at the intersections between feminist and gender diverse aspects of choreographic practices, at the links between forms of social and political resistance through dance, at the intersections between the different media through which dance emerged or was realised, and by outlining the so-called formations, different regimes of dance and choreographic production that have been changing over time.

Production: Nomad Dance Academy, Lokomotiva Skopje, Stanica Beograd, Nomad Dance Academy Croatia, Nomad Dance Academy Slovenia, Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb
