On Thursday, June 22, 2023 at 12:00 pm (CET), we are hosting the CAS SEE Seminar with Hana Ćurak on Upending the patriarchy one visual at a time: a case of “Sve su to vještice” in conversation with the RECAS Fellow Leda Sutlović.

About the seminar

To what extent is it possible to upend patriarchal temporalities, and by which means? Recent feminist examples in post-Yugoslav countries, but also beyond, seem to highlight a central role of archiving, visuality, humor and digital sphere where cultural tropes are combined with affective framing of political messages.

This presentation offers insights into Sve su to vještice [It’s All Witches], one of such platforms, focusing on its political and artistic dimension.

Hana Ćurak (b. 1994, Sarajevo) is a cultural researcher, feminist, author, and producer. Currently she works as a research associate at Humboldt University in Berlin, in the Collaborative Research Project “Intervening Arts”.

She is the founder of the academic and artistic platform It’s all Witches, a counter-archive aimed at subversion of patriarchal culture across former Yugoslavia. Her research interests focus on the concepts of collectivity, intervention and resistance in the context of curatorial practices across post-Yugoslavia. She is also a media consultant with European Endowment for Democracy.
