ABSTRACT

In 2011, the feminist curatorial collective Red Mined launched a series of Living Archive event-based contemporary art editions dealing with experimental, relational, and feminist methodologies of curating the contemporary art within the (post)Yugoslav space. Starting from the Red Mined's curatorial practices and collective experience, this chapter not only explores heterodox dimensions of feminist but also curatorial post-Yugoslav spaces. Relating to these and other similar Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav artivist and curatorial practices, the chapter points to the notion of radical geography which very often emerges as one of the main feminist issues defined by necessity for a revolution in geographic thought that for a long time suffered from silences and exclusions of the world destroyed by wars, patriarchy, nationalism, racism, neocolonialism, and social injustice. Using living archive as an epistemic source of critical, relational and decentralised reflection about the post-Yugoslav space and its feminist politics, shaped by the politics of belonging rather than by the politics of identity, the text search for the meaning of radicality along the emancipatory axes of today's art geographies and its future curatorial possibilities.
