Sažetak
In her work, the Croatian visual artist Andreja Kulunčić interrogates various aspects of social relations and practice. Her interests lie in socially engaged topics, confronting various audiences, and initiating collective projects. In her latest research project, You Betrayed the Party Just When You Should Have Helped It (2019– 2022), she focuses on the silence surrounding the erased episode of totalitarian violence against politically active women who did not fit into the binary optics of the Cold War bloc politics between 1948–1956. Kulunčić is researching the internal mechanisms and the apparatus of constraint behind the oppression of women in the Goli Otok and Sveti Grgur political camps located on two islands in the Adriatic Sea. Her rhizomatic approach aims at pondering upon the transformation of the female prisoner’s body as being subjected to self- colonization in order to survive in a traumatic environment. Setting up her own interdisciplinary network of women scholars and artists, viewing artistic practice as research, a process of cooperation and co-creation, but also as a form of intervention in the politics of memory and memorial gesture, Andreja Kulunčić created two exhibitions (first under the curation of Irena Bekić and then together with Anca Mihuleț), several workshops, and a successful media campaign that, in many ways, have demanded active collaboration on the part of the audience, asking it to “complete” the project.
