Open Call for International Art Project They Live
Do you remember days from the student dormitory or know someone who does?
Do you have stories, photographs, documents and other things from this period?
The Institute of Contemporary Art invites ex and present student dormitory tenants in Montenegro to participate in the project ‘They: Live’ - student lives revealed through context-based art practices and share their memories, anecdotes, photos and documented materials or souvenirs they keep from student years. Join us in creating a collective history of student life!
The international project ‘They: Live’ - student lives revealed through context-based art practices explores the student life from the end of World War 2 to present day in the context of everyday life in student campuses, students’ cultural habits and their free time, interpersonal and gender relations, as well as their social and political engagement.
The aim of the project is to encourage student population to take part in understanding and co-creation of contemporary art, by means of using archive materials and taking part in participatory art activities during residential stays of artists in student campuses.
How to join?
Book an interview and send – scanned photographs, documents or other material memories for the life spent in student dormitories to studentskiarhiv@ica-me. Write to mail or Facebook page of Institute for Contemporary Art and our archivist will introduce you to the way of using materials and rules on archiving photographies within the online collection They Live.
Photographies and other documents shall be returned to the owner after scanning.
Photographies, audio interview and other materials shall be archived within the online collection They Live at the international collaborative digital platform Topotheque and the official project website at the same time with collections about student life in Belgrade, Zagreb, Rijeka and Madrid.
The project is implemented within the programme for culture and media of the EU Creative Europe. Besides the Institute of Contemporary Art, project participants are the International Center for archive research Icarus from Zagreb, Academy of Applied Arts in Rijeka, the Faculty of Audiovisual Communication at the King Juan Carlos University (URJC) from Madrid, as well as the Students’ City Cultural Centre from Belgrade.
