Collective tissues of the systering body

Abstract

This text is a collage of perspectives and considerations of how we work as a collective. It is an entry from wandering around, conversing and, ultimately, agreeing that we are in the process of figuring out what it is that we do and how we want to do it. It does not follow a linear narration but it is a polyphonic composition expressing our co-existence over the last two years. Our meeting was possible thanks to the fellowship programme which enabled our paths to cross, creating space for the intersection of different generations, socioeconomic circumstances, and geopolitical contexts. It then led us to form a collective as a way of building up on the work we had done together and expanding it beyond the timeframe and scope of Critical Practice (Made in Yugoslavia)*. Still, we held onto the idea of collectivity, horizontal knowledge sharing, decentralised group structure and reciprocity as guiding principles for that future evolution of our work which has been instilled in us through the CP experience.
