TURBA Factory invites media artist Mirjana Mitrović to present her artistic practice as part of a workshop and exhibition.

The workshop playfully deconstructs the chapter "M [The Flâneur]" in Walter Benjamin's “Passages”. We'll delve into the century-old tradition of flânerie, exploring how it can be applied in the current urban space from a (queer)feminist and postcolonial perspective. Afterwards, participants will stroll from Turba Factory onto the streets, collecting impression-fragments along the way. At the end, each participant will have the opportunity to present their impressions.

After the workshop, the public and workshop attendees are invited to explore Mitrović's project "Fragmented (hi)stories" at TURBA Factory. Mitrović draws inspiration from the archive of her mother, examining the significance of family records in the 21st Century and various forms of intergenerational and transnational memory transfer. The exhibited work represents the artist's initial steps into the living fabric of oral traditions, collected documents, and of various objects. Experimentally, she engages with the existential question of endings and beginnings between dream and reality.

TURBA e.V. is an organization of affiliated artists dedicated to realizing cultural projects worldwide through international cooperation.

The TURBA Factory serves as both a transdisciplinary project space and a workshop, facilitating the convergence of knowledge transfer and artistic practice. Since their establishment in 2020, the mission of the group has been to forge a distinctive connection between their workshop program and their discourse production.

Operating as an autonomous project space with a self-directed and self-organized working structure, TURBA is providing interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary artistic activities and projects that are not driven by market forces.

By combining their workshop offerings and discourse production, the group aim to establish a platform where artists and enthusiasts can exchange ideas, network, and engage in collaborative learning and experimentation.
