Join us for an exhibition pop-up, screening of selected works, and artist talk with the 2022 OHO award winner Đejmi Hadrović. Đejmi’s practice is guided by matrilineal histories and performative inquiries that become her means to survey socio-economic conditions in the Balkan society. Balancing between autobiographical and political, the presentation will carry us from the socialist times in Yugoslavia to the turbo-capitalist contemporary Slovenia. A letter, a veil, and a looter will appear as the central characters in the talk. Finally, together with Ukrainian-born curator Lilia Kudelia, Đejmi Hadrović will reflect on the question: What does it mean to define yourself as a post-war artist in the age of continuing wars?
