  • The meeting is an opportunity to learn about Oliver Frljić’s and Goran Injac’s curating and directing strategies: their individual history of dealing with the Balkan identity and the need to analyse the history of the Balkan region, as well as Frljić’s controversial projects on Polish and European stages which provoke audiences to confront various difficult and repressed subjects from the mainstream historical discourse.

    THE BALKANS PLATFORM Meetings at Liberty Square
    As always, the Malta artistic programme is accompanied by the Forum, a series of discussions on the festival theme. This year the meetings are focused on the correlation between Balkan and Polish history, and on the Balkan experience compared to the current situations in Poland, Europe and worldwide. The Balkans are seen as a platform for knowledge and reflection on ourselves and on the reality we live in. The guests are political scientists, psychiatrists and anthropologists, as well as Slavicists, philosophers, writers and documentary filmmakers.
