Abstract

Višegodišnji umjetničko-istraživački projekt Vi ste Partiju izdale onda kada je trebalo da joj
pomognete (2019. – 2022.) u cjelovitom obliku predstavljen je javnosti na samostalnoj izložbi
u Muzeju moderne i suvremene umjetnosti u Rijeci 2022. godine. Projekt na inovativan način
kroz različite medije suvremene umjetnosti zasnovane na društveno angažiranoj umjetničkoj
praksi tematizira stradanje više od 850 kažnjenica na Golom otoku i Svetom Grguru od 1950.
do 1956. godine nakon raskola Tita i Staljina. Marginalizirana ženska povijest polazišna je
točka rizomatskog širenja, istraživanja i aktivacije teme kroz prostorne umjetničke intervencije
na lokalitetima ženskog političkog logora, dvije izložbe, složene internetske stranice,
publikacije, strateškog rada na medijskoj vidljivosti te diskurzivnog programa kroz niz
radionica i razgovora.
Projekt problematizira zajedničku amneziju nasilne ženske povijesti s ciljem uspostavljanja
pravednijeg pamćenja te pritom poseže za subverzivnom komemoracijskom formom –
antispomenikom – koji ne nameće sjećanje, već ga traži u stalno obnavljajućem prožimanju
osporenih sjećanja i spoznaja te osjećajima publike. Tako projekt pokreće proces kolektivnog
pamćenja kao jednog od načina prihvaćanja prošlosti i aktivno potiče rasprave oko toga kako
se sjećamo, čega se sjećamo i koja je uloga prošlosti u budućnosti. Također, stremi ka
osvještavanju činjenice kako je logorska struktura uvijek moguća, kao i tiho odobravanje i
sudjelovanje u totalitarnim režimima koji se naziru oko nas, odnosno kako je odgovornost
otpora na svima nama.

Abstract (english)

The several-years-long artistic research project You Betrayed the Party Just When You Should
Have Helped It (2019-2022), integrally was presented to the public in an individual exhibition
at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rijeka in 2022. The project, in an
innovative manner and employing various media of contemporary art founded on socially
engaged artistic practice, takes up the issue of the sufferings of more than 850 female convicts
on Goli Otok and Sveti Grgur Island from 1950 to 1956 after the Tito-Stalin schism. Women’s
history, which has been marginalized, is the point of departure for a rhizomatic broadening of,
research into and activation of the theme through spatial artistic interventions at sites of the
women’s political prison camp, through two exhibitions, complex Web sites, publications,
strategic work on media visibility and a discursive programme through a series of workshops
and discussions.
The project problematises the common amnesia concerning violence in women’s history with
the object of setting up a more just memory and at the same time avails itself of a subversive
commemorative form, the anti-monument, which does not enforce remembrance but rather
searches for it in the constantly renewed permeation of contested memory and knowledge and
in the feelings of the public. And so, the project has set in motion a process of collective memory
as one of the ways of accepting the past and has actively instigated debates about how we
remember, what we remember and what the role of the past in the future is. It also aspires to
raise awareness of the fact that the structure of camp is always possible, as are tacit approval of
and participation in the totalitarian regimes that are discernible around us; in other words, that
resistance is incumbent upon all of us.
