🟢Posle višemesečnog posvećenog rada sa mentorima, osam učesnika_ca Q***r Art Academy, prošlog četvrtka predstavilo je svoje projekte u nastajanju u Hartefakt Kući.
🎬Mladi umetnici_e iz Srbije, Bosne i Hercegovine i Severne Makedonije predstavili su svoje radove kroz film, fotografiju, poeziju, performans, arhiv, tekst i multimediju, a imali su priliku i da se povežu sa lokalnim, regionalnim i međunarodnim kulturnim radnicim_ama, umetnicima_ama i predstavnicima_ama kulturnih institucija.
Veoma različiti po formi i pristupu, autori_ke su na showcaseu dobili povratne informacije publike, kao i završni feedback mentora: Stevana Marića, filmskog montažera; Zorane Đaković Miniti, urednice programa u Kulturnom centru Beograda; Mojce Jug, urednice programa festivala Mladi Levi u Ljubljani; Zvonimira Dobrovića, osnivača festivala Q***r Zagreb; i reditelja Patrika Lazića. Sada umetnici_e nastavljaju da rade na svojim projektima i daju im konačan oblik.
👀 Radujemo se da pratimo kako će se projekti Erika, Pavla, Natalije, Ilje, Nikole, Uroša, Muhameda i Armana dalje razvijati i kako će njihove lične priče o kvir životima dobiti svoj konačni umetnički oblik.

🟢 After months of dedicated work with their mentors, eight participants of the Q***r Art Academy showcased their works-in-progress last Thursday at Hartefakt House.
🎬Young, emerging artists from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and North Macedonia presented projects spanning film, photography, poetry, performance, archives, text and multimedia, and had the chance to connect with local, regional and international cultural practitioners, fellow artists and representatives of cultural institutions.
Very different in form and approach, the projects are still finding their final shape — informed by feedback from the audience and their mentors: Stevan Marić, film editor; Zorana Đaković Miniti, programme editor at the Belgrade Cultural Centre; Mojca Jug, programme editor at the Mladi Levi Festival in Ljubljana; Zvonimir Dobrović, founder of Q***r Zagreb Festival; and theatre director Patrik Lazić.
👀 We’re curious to see what Erik, Pavle, Natalija, Ilja, Nikola, Uroš, Muhamed and Arman have in store for us — how their deeply personal stories of q***r lives will shape their creations, and, ultimately, what these projects will look and feel like once they take their final form.
