"We are now in the second decade of the West taking interest in art 
from 'other' places. There are many reasons for this development, 
including the fall of communism in the early 1990s, the ensuing new 
geopolitical situation in Europe, and the rapid processes of 
globalization in that decade, all of which have effected lasting 
changes in the world-map of art."

Comradeship: Curating, Art, and Politics in Post-Socialist Europe 
gathers twenty years of writings from disparate and hard-to-find 
sources alongside new texts from the forward-thinking Slovenian 
curator, museum director, and scholar Zdenka Badovinac.
Join Zdenka Badovinac and Ana Janevski for a presentation and 
conversation considering the trajectory of Badovinac's work as it is 
articulated through her new publication.

This is the third book in ICI's PERSPECTIVES IN CURATING series, 
which offers timely reflections by curators, artists, critics, and 
art historians on emergent debates in curatorial practice around the 
world.

Badovinac has been an influential voice in international 
conversations rethinking the geopolitics of art after the fall of 
communism, a ferocious critic of unequal negotiations between East 
and West, and a historian of the avant-garde art that emerged in 
socialist and post-socialist countries in the last century. She has 
been, moreover, an advocate for radical institutional forms: museums 
responsive to the complexities of the past and commensurate to the 
demands of the present.
