The festival "Šta Ima! Literature, Art and Culture from the Western Balkans - Ex-Yugoslavia"
presents a fascinating variety of cultural activities to explore the history and identity of the region through literature, art and music. The multimedia performance "YUDeJaVu" forms the centerpiece of the festival, taking people on an immersive journey through the socio-cultural development of the former Yugoslavia. "Yugoslavia - Utopia of modern art or the rise of far-right nationalism" A multimedia journey through Yugoslav pop music culture (1948/60-2024)"
The starting point of the performance is the fact that punk rock, subversive art and its ideas flowed through the mainstream of Yugoslav society
The performance "YUDeJaVu" relies on interactive elements that involve the audience and thus create an immersive experience. By focusing on topics such as war, identity and migration, it not only sheds light on the past, but also on the current "migration society situation" in Munich. The performance serves as a mirror for the search for cultural identity in a fragmented world.
The festival broadens perspectives through film screenings, art exhibitions, literary discussions, music performances and panel discussions. Historical events, cultural developments and current challenges in the region are highlighted. The events provide a platform for the exchange of ideas and a deeper understanding of the cultural diversity of the former Yugoslavia.
The overarching theme of the festival emphasizes the bridging function between the historical development and the current situation in Europe and the world. The festival aims to initiate learning processes and promote a dialog about common values and challenges.
In the contextualization of the artistic productions, the active engagement of the cultural actors with topics such as violence, populism and nationalism is clearly evident.
A festival catalog and an audiovisual blog serve as media to continue the dialogue about identity, origin and culture beyond the festival period. (Digital Network)
The comprehensive concept for the festival not only includes the main performance "YUDeJaVu", but also a diverse supporting program that includes film, art, literature, music and talks.
The aim is to create a platform for reflection, dialog and cultural exchange. The voices of artists and thinkers from the region should come to the fore. The festival aims to create sustainable networks and long-term partnerships for future cultural events. The documentation of the festival activities serves as a long-term reminder
