NIAS podcast 'Room to explore' with Aleksandar Bošković

NIAS Fellow Aleksandar Bošković studies experimental art from the former Yugoslavia, focusing on how these creative practices – across literature, film, visual arts, and radio – express decolonial aesthetics and its radical epistemologies.

At the core of these practices is a compelling idea: that “nothing” can help us rethink how value is created. His research demonstrates how, using techniques of refusal and negation, Yugoslav artists reframe the question of value and offer new ways of imagining future cultural narratives.

Radical Yugoslav art practices, Bošković argues, remind us that the same principle applies to both post-Balkan and European contexts: such a culture is founded not on identity but on responsibility.

We are preparing the transcript to provide a text alternative. It will be available soon.
