Ispod pločnika, plaža !!! "BOSNA - PORTUGAL: 1-0 is a performance connecting two similar galleries on opposite sides of Europe — Lisbon (Zaratan) and Sarajevo (Brodac). Both autonomous, independent and created by artists in order to promote a more accessible and free culture of interdisciplinary understanding, they reside in completely different social and political contexts. The connection occurs through the simultaneous action of the artist and curator Smirna Kulenović (BiH) in Lisbon and Muhamed Baručija (BiH) in Sarajevo. Smirna Kulenović spent the last 6 months working and creating in Lisbon, and this is her last reflection about the social context of Portugal, Bosnia and Europe — which she puts to test before returning back to Sarajevo, Brodac gallery. The topics of national and European identity, work, leisure, rise of right-wing political structures, fading relationship with the revolutionary historical heritage, post-capitalism and necessity for immediate and direct action intertwine through the piece, offering a critique of and solution for a socially engaged and anarchist art practice."
