PATTERNS aims to document, analyse, and investigate different aspects of and practices related to the transformation of daily life and culture in Central and South Eastern Europe, while accounting for the pluralities that describe the region. It takes on the role of a “contemporary witness”. The initiative focuses on the 1960s and 1970s, as well as on the “transition” period leading up to the present. The period commonly known as the “transition” is an important historical turning point, not only in the sense of reshaping and redefining what art and culture could mean in a post-totalitarian society: At historical and geographical fault lines, stories and historical documents emerge.
The range of topics touched by the selected projects chronicles this.
