Bitef

IZAZOVI SAVREMENE DEMOKRATIJE

DEBATA

14. SEPTEMBAR 12:00 EU INFO CENTAR, KRAUA MILANA 7

Na šta nas u evropskoj današnjici asocira ovogodišnji slogan Bitefa „Svet bez ljudi"? Kako institucije i evropska društva mogu da efikasno odgovore na izazove desnog populizma, ksenofobije i netolerancije koje su u porastu i u društvima razvijene demokratije? Na koji način umetničko delo, radikalizujući strahove i strepnje običnog čoveka, može da ukaže na moguće oslobođenje i fokusira pažnju publike na neizbežno prožimanje estetskih vrednosti i Ijudskih prava?

CHALLENGES OF THE MODERN DEMOCRACY

DEBATE

14 th SEPTEMBER 12:00 EU INFO CENTRE BELGRADE, KRALJA MILANA 7

What is the first thought that comes to mind when we think about this year’s Bitef slogan “The World without Us” in the context of modern day Europe? Can public institutions and European societies efficiently stand up to the rising challenges of right-wing populism, xenophobia and intolerance faced by developed democratic societies and how? What are the ways in which a work of art - radicalising fears and concerns of common people - can guide us towards potential liberation and focus audience’s attention on the inevitable intertwining of aesthetic values and human rights?

PARTICIPANTS: - Ivan Medenica, artistic director, Bitef - Milena Dragićević-Šešić, UNESCO Chair in Cultural Policy and Management, Head of Department, University of Arts in Belgrade - Dragoljub Mićunović, philosopher, member of the National Assembly of Serbia - Joris Lacoste, Suite N 0.3: 'Europe director
