Thursday, 16 November 2023, 16.00
Reading: Andreja Džakušič, Aleksandra Saška Gruden, Franc Purg, Miha Horvat, Simon Macuh, Zoran Srdić Janežič

The group public performance Public Readings is part of the group exhibition The Book Story in the UGM Studio, where their work is also presented.

"It has been more than ten years since the beginning of the group public performance Public Readings in 2011, but it is our creative power that drives us to draw attention to some of the current neuralgic points in society through public performance and reading texts by different authors. This time our focus is on the notion of "peace", and we have sought out those works/books by local authors who, in one way or another, speak about a notion that is often spoken but rarely actually achieved today. The selected texts highlight social phenomena or relationships that maintain a harmonious balance between all actors, that describe the notions of healthy mutual or international relations, that highlight security in all its dimensions and fairness in political relations. The readings will take place in different locations and some of them you will be able to follow via platforms or web applications!" (Aleksandra Saška Gruden)
