20 years of LOKOMOTIVA

/македонски подолу/
It’s been 20 years of coexistence of the community called Lokomotiva which was, not so peacefully, steering and sailing through our macadams… but still, if we look back to some point in 2003, we see a path, a very colorful one, full of sound, filled with lots of art, breaking lances, different crosswinds, more art, conversations, laughter, research, various challenges, struggles, victories, many lessons learned, communities created, spaces and changes we wanted…
A long journey is yet ahead of us, but this year, we will take a little break to say thank you to all of us who see ourselves as part of that coexistence, as collaborators, as audience and as friends, as those without whom Lokomotiva would never have been possible.
We want to dedicate this year to what that coexistence was based on for the past 20 years, i.e. to what makes Lokomotiva what it is – the collaborations here, in the region and beyond, research in art and cultural policies, commitment to the production and presentation of contemporary art , advocating for the needs of artists and cultural workers, creating new thinking spaces and discursive perspectives, new pedagogies and methods of how we learn together, how we build the community through solidarity and spaces where we create and coexist…

Thanks to Ana Jovanovska who is behind the design of this jubilee.
