Pre-meeting trip to Novi Sad [FULL]

Meeting point: Pionirski Park (Public parking)

Address: Dragoslava Jovanovica 2, located across the street from the National Assembly.

Join us on this pre-meeting trip to Novi Sad, organised in collaboration with Novi Sad 2022 - European Capital of Culture, one day prior to the IETM Belgrade Plenary Meeting.

This is an all day trip to discover Novi Sad’s vibrant cultural scene.

You will have the chance to learn both about the independent performing arts scene and institutional theatre production.

Important practicalities

Taking part in the pre-meeting trip requires you to arrive in Belgrade on Wednesday 27 September, in order to be able to travel to Novi Sad and be ready to leave the next morning. Don’t forget to bring comfortable shoes and wind/waterproofs. You will also need a rucksack to carry a water bottle and a reusable coffee mug, if you have one.

Please note that eating times may differ from country to country. In Serbia, lunch is usually eaten around 15:00. This being said, we have planned for enough snacks and breaks in case you need to replenish before lunchtime.

Programme
08:30 - 09:30 Departure from Belgrade and travel to Novi Sad
10:00 - 11:00

Visit to Liman Cultural Station & Exchange with the Novi Sad 2022 - European Capital of Culture team

To kick off this pre-meeting trip, we will visit the future Creative District of Novi Sad and discover the cultural offer of the Novi Sad 2022 Capital of Culture programme.

11:00 - 11:30

Networking break

Get to know fellow participants and exchange with our Novi Sad hosts while filling up on some snacks and drinks for an extra energy boost.

11:30 - 13:00 LEGACY [Performance]

A participatory youth theatre performance on the topic of Ecology. 

This performance has been produced as part of the EYEnet 2.0 project (European Youth Engagement Network), with the aim of improving the quality of youth culture, political awareness, critical thinking and the international solidarity of young people.

The project contains one workshop and eight festivals in - Novi Sad (Serbia), Prague (Czech Republic), Sansepolcro (Italy), Maribor-Ptuj (Slovenia), Athens (Greece), Toulouse-Clermont Ferrand (France), Berlin (Germany) and Kaunas (Lithuania).

Price: Performance included in the pre-meeting participation fee.

13:30 - 14:30

Meet the independent local scene

Location : Zmaj Jovina 22, Novi Sad

In the afternoon, we will continue to learn more about Novi Sad’s key projects and contexts by meeting with representatives of Šok Zadruga; just a few of the people that make up the city’s independent arts scene.

Šok Zadruga (Shock Cooperative) is a project from the Multimedia Center Led Art. Šok Zadruga is based on an attempt to change the existing pattern of artistic action primarily at a local level - the level of Novi Sad - through a kind of ‘in-vivo’ experiment. With the idea of revitalising the peripheral parts of the city in cooperation and association with culture, sports societies or religious communities, Šok Zadruga - in addition to its parent gallery - founded and built the Shock Gallery chain. The so-called micro galleries promote a new exhibition concept and a new form of cooperation between artists and art associations, and represents an experimental attempt which gives the association and exchange of experiences in the field of contemporary visual art. In that light, The Šok Zadruga redefines the given institutional and disciplinary frameworks, and formulates newer, ‘wilder’ ones with unconventional models of cooperation. The centre is replaced by its periphery, and the basement by its public space. The acute crisis of sociability, thinned social fabric and devastated artistic scenes warns of the urgent need to rehabilitate elementary forms of reciprocity, self-organisation and mutual completion.

14:30 - 16:30  Afternoon break

We will have two hours of free time where you can walk around and discover the city.

16:30 - 18:30

Late Lunch / Early dinner

Location: Pivnica Gusan, Zmaj Jovina 4, Novi Sad

This will be our main meal of the day. Try some of the local cuisine and share a communal moment with the group.

Please ensure you have updated your dietary restrictions on your IETM profile.

19:00 - 20:30

Neoplanta, directed by András Urbán

A production of Újvidéki Színház (Novi Sad Theatre)

Location: Novi Sad Theatre, Jovana Subotica St. No. 3, Novi Sad

Performance in Hungarian with English subtitles.

There is this city, this Újvidék.
Or Novi Sad. Or Neusatz. Or Mlada Loza. Or Neoplanta.This is how Maria Theresa wrote history with her golden pen.
Streets, squares, the Danube, people, peoples, twenty-six nations, explosively growing buildings, dark parks, graffiti, a fashion show of hatred. And the blood. Blood on the asphalt, blood in well-known restaurants and pubs, blood smeared on the ice of the Danube and yoghurt dripping from the windows of the Báni palace.
Neoplanta.
The identity of a city, with spots.

In András Urbán's words, this “is not only about Novi Sad, it is not based only on Végel 's novel which is about History. The production tells a story which offers inspiration for a new space, a space in which people are trying to live. We have an image of this environment as a multicultural one but it is time to face up to that other image which does not have that. We boast about notions, multiculturalism and interculturalism when we need them. But we should also start to speak about the real Novi Sad and there the question arises straightaway: which is the real Novi Sad?”

Price: Performance included in the pre-meeting participation fee.
