Critical practice_Made in Yu_ is oriented towards empowering discursive reflections on contemporary performing arts while enabling their breakthrough into the larger public, focused on the post-Yugoslav region and its relation to the European context. The disciplinary framework of the programme is predicated on issues, coming from critical theory, artistic practice and cultural policy, considered as interconnected constituents of the performing arts scene and cultural scene in general.
Programme works on development of critical thinking through art as a social constituent and field for socio-political influence, through lectures, workshops, discussions, seminars, and publishing that will allow wide spreading of the project ideas and results. It enables the political and creative potential of the Balkan region to become visible and articulated as a critical platform of young thinkers able to make a social and cultural change.
