Launch of the Secondary Archive: Albania, Kosovo, Serbia and Visegrad countries

After a very fruitful year with the launch of the Ukrainian and Belarusian artists in February and their exhibition at the Manifesta 14 Biennale, Second Archive invite you to celebrate the launch of yet another, pressingly important expansion in the Balkan region:

On the 27th of October at 6:00 pm CET, during an online conference that will be streamed on the Facebook profile of the Katarzyna Kozyra Foundation and the partners, Secondary Archive will be launching the statements prepared by the Albanian, Kosovar and Serbian female artists, as well as creatives form the four founding Visegrad countries.

 

144 artists from all backgrounds together with unknown creatives joined through an Open Call, chosen by a team of international experts, will become a part of the Secondary Archive platform.

 

The launch event will offer not only a space for the celebration of the female voices, but also raise awareness and open discussion related to the struggles and wins of the female artists of the region.
