<h3>transversal audio season<br />Spring 2024</h3>
<p>The coming transversal audio season will center around discussions on non-traditional or even clandestine publishing practices from the peripheries, as part of the Peripheral Visions project. The notion of “peripherality” is critically approached and often subverted within these discussions, but serves as a sort of central theme in understanding the challenges and commonalities between these very unique practices.</p>
<p>Beginning with a look at the legacy and contemporary importance of the publication Arkzin (based in Zagreb, 1991-1998) and its ability to both exist as an anti-war platform in the midst of war, while reaching audiences both across the region as well as beyond it, the discussions will expand to look at the present-day context. This will include platforms that were connected to and influenced by Arkzin, such as Novi Sad-based kuda.org, which has existed from 2001 to the present, and the creative approaches they’ve developed for facing challenges over the years. A conversation with the Ljubljana-based platform Maska looks at the role of care in the arts in their recent publications and collaborations, while discussing their use of the term “Yugofuturism” as a theoretical point of departure for thinking through multiple temporalities for reimagining the challenges of the present. This first block of talks will conclude with a discussion with Mišo Kapetanović on queer perspectives for subverting gatekeeping concepts in research on former-Yugoslavia, particularly Bosnia.</p>
<p>A <strong>second block of talks, starting end of March</strong>, will shift the focus to other spaces beyond the former-Yugoslav region and will look at the modes of operation, distribution, and the use of flexible technologies for existing in these landscapes of political repression.</p>

<p><br /><strong>21 February</strong><br /><strong>Part I</strong><br /><strong>Arkzin, its Legacy and Contemporary Importance:</strong><br /><strong>A Conversation with Boris Buden, Vesna Janković, Petar Milat, and Paul Stubbs</strong></p>
<p>In the first part of this discussion, we discuss both the historical and current importance of Zagreb-based journal Arkzin, from its origins in the anti-war campaign of the 1990s to its impact on the progressive scenes in Croatia and abroad. Against the backdrop of the legacy of the Non-Aligned Movement, unique approaches to solidarity were at the core of the work of Arkzin. In the discussion, we map out the challenges of the context of war, corruption, transition, and emerging new nationalisms while looking at how unconventional publishing subverted and blurred the lines between new media, experimental art and design, and radical approaches to writing, editing, and collaborating in a way that spurred numerous collaborations and actions to come.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for the second part of the discussion on February 28th, where we expand the talk to look at the importance of feminism in the anti-war campaign, the specter of historical revisionism, and the need for new forms of solidarity today. It will also be followed by a sampling of experimental audio snippets from the Arkzin archives...</p>
