Where Them Stray Dogs At & Bat Cave Cinema, 16 Oct 2026 16:00, ISBN+
On the occasion of the FFA presentation at Art Market Budapest, the independent contemporary art center and bookstore ISBN+ will host creators associated with FFA’s Video Studio on Friday 16 October 2026 at 16:00. Barbora Ilič, an alumna of the studio and currently a PhD candidate at FFA, focuses her artistic practice and research on Yugonostalgia and nostalgic imagery within the algorithmic space of social media. In her presentation, she will introduce her artistic research alongside the publication Where Them Stray Dogs At: Liminal Thoughts on Balkanism, Gentrification and Nostalgia, which she edited and contributed to. The publication is the outcome of a collective effort that takes Belgrade as its conceptual starting point. From this specific locus, the contributors embark on an exploration of the meanings and identities long attributed to the so-called Balkans as a cultural region. The book is structured as a richly illustrated sequence of fragmentary yet inherently interconnected commentaries on themes such as authenticity, migration, urban transformation, and Balkanism.The presentation will be followed by a screening of video works by students and alumni of FFA’s Video Studio. The drive to expand beyond institutional and gallery spaces by creating "pop-up cinema" situations under the banner of Bat Cave Cinema is a defining feature of the studio.
