The public conversation will take place as part of the accompanying program of the exhibition by Vesna Bukovec and Ana \u010cigon <\/span>Work in Progress. Deceptive Working Time<\/em><\/a><\/strong> at the Meduza Gallery in Koper. The exhibition is part of a multi-year artistic-curatorial research project that critically addresses precarious work and contemporary forms of neoliberal exploitation of people, nature, and the planet. At the same time, it seeks alternative ways of organizing society that do not succumb to the despair that nothing can be changed. The exhibition is based on the reflections of several interlocutors and three books: <\/span>Bullshit Jobs: A Theory<\/em> by David Graeber, <\/span>The Restoration of Capitalism: The Repatriarchalization of Society<\/em> by Lilijana Burcar, and the anthology <\/span>Degrowth: A Vocabulary for a New Era<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The authors of the exhibition have invited social economy ambassador and activist Jadranka Vesel (Research Institute for Social Economy RISE) to moderate the discussion. She is also one of the collaborators of the Work in Progress<\/em> project and one of the interlocutors in the video at the current exhibition. She will be conversing with social and solidarity economy researcher Dr. Karolina Babi\u010d, employed at the Faculty of Education of the University of Primorska, and Dr. Bla\u017e Kosovel, editor of the journal Razpotja<\/em> and author of the foreword to the Slovenian edition of David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs<\/em> (*Publisher \/cf.).<\/em><\/p>\n

Jadranka Vesel has titled this conversation Deceptive Working Time, Deceptive Humanity<\/em> … and, in addition to the female and male interlocutors, invites the engaged public to the discussion: “At the 2022 exhibition, we dedicated a roundtable to work and community. Today, we should dedicate it to humanity. If at that time we talked about work and its precarious forms bordering on slavery, today we are receiving confirmation that people are superfluous. All social safety nets are being reduced so that funds can be allocated for militarization. Even genocide is becoming profitable. Everything and more must be squeezed out of everyone, so that profits can grow\u2014even if that means killing, destroying, humiliating, exploiting people and natural resources to a degree that threatens our existence. It is time to raise our heads, to stand up for every person, for everything that surrounds us, for the protection of the planet we call Earth.
Join us\u2014organizing will be easier if we start with a conversation.
Let art mark the beginnings of new shared paths!\"<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
