SEPTEMBER AT YOUTH CENTER

 
Location: Youth Center (Ulica slobode 28)

Time: September 1st - 30th, 2024.
 
 

A Diverse Program at the Youth Center in September. Mark Your Calendars and Enjoy the Month.

 

Until Tuesday, September 10, you have the opportunity to visit the exhibition Goodbye to Form by artist Niko Pećarin at the MKC Gallery. The centerpiece of this artistic installation is an audio recording created from the artist’s research on the properties of the voice and the possibilities of voice exchange. In this recording, the voice becomes a melody, but it also reads a text—a love letter about form—reflecting on identity, political solidarity, community, transsexuality, beauty, and desire. The audio is complemented by an exploration of physicality through material transformation processes, which the artist achieves in creating ceramic tiles.

 

Thursday, September 19, the opening of the exhibition Decades by Filip Milković at the Kocka Club Gallery begins at 8 PM. This work delves into personal and collective memories through a series of photographs and scans of family albums, exploring themes of memory, oblivion, death, and the passage of time. By experimenting with scanning techniques, the artist creates images that evoke the feeling of time passing and decay, questioning the role of photographs as tools for remembrance. The work seeks to connect the past and present, offering an authentic depiction of the fragility of human memories.

 

September 21 - October 10, the MKC Gallery will host the 42nd Split Salon, the largest and longest-running art event in Split, which remains the most important group art exhibition in Dalmatia to this day. In 2024, the Split Salon, curated by Jasmina Šarić, confronts pressing contemporary issues. Global themes such as climate change and artificial intelligence become starting points for artistic expression, while also addressing specific local challenges such as urban pollution, changes in local governance, mass tourism, and the outcomes of these processes.

 

September’s program includes the FILM KULT series with three screenings of cult classics: Lynch’s Dune (September 5), Terence Fisher’s Dracula (September 19), and Poltergeist (September 21), a film surrounded by a decades-long myth about its true director. After each screening, film analyst Erik Lončar will lead an exciting discussion.

 

On September 10 and 24, free workshops on film analysis will be available for those who want to learn how to watch films more critically. Topics will include why biographical films contain events that aren’t true and why adaptations from books to films often miss key moments. Erik Lončar will present his method of film analysis, giving participants the tools to delve deeper into films and understand character motivations and complex scenes.

 

On Friday, September 13, Kino Klub Split will host the Slovenian Cinematheque and SCCA Ljubljana. Starting at 7 PM in Beton Kino, a selection of Slovenian avant-garde and contemporary short films will be screened. Entry is free. The following day, director Karpo Ačimović Godina will hold a masterclass at 6 PM, followed by a screening of his restored short films at 8 PM. Admission is also free.

 

The Little School of Contemporary Dance continues this September, organized by the dance association Tiramola. Workshops include Josipa Bubaš's ITTI (Research-Performance Workshop on September 8) and Stošija Zrinski’s Workshop on Contemporary Dance Techniques and Choreographic Methods from the performance Travelogue (September 22). Recent contemporary dance performances include Re-Immersion by Josipa Bubaš (September 7) and the solo performance Travelogue by Stošija Zrinski (September 21).

 

This is just part of the program for September and the entire program is available on the website dom-mladih.org and on the Facebook and Instagram profiles of the Youth Center. There you will also find all the details on how to apply to participate in workshops.
