Tranzit.sk is running an exhibition from Apr. 11th to Jul. 12th 2024, which is dedicated to exploring the themes of colonialism, imperialism and decolonization as they pertain to the regions of East Central and South Eastern Europe during the Cold War and how, despite not being directly involved in these practices, these regions on the Western European periphery were nevertheless entangled in the events which shaped the public discourse in the Global North and South.
Several artists have been invited to contribute works which touch upon narratives of decoloniality, oppression and racist ideology as they were manifested in their respective societies. Among the artists being featured, the artistic duo Doplgenger is displaying a short documentary that uncovers the anti-colonial histories of Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. On April 25th they are holding a masterclass which will attempt to resolve the question of the status of archival footage, the politics behind film form and how the filmmaker/artist can find their own place in the current ever-shifting circumstances.
