I’m really looking forward to showing a Swiss audience at Museum Tinguely a showreel of Macedonian performance art on video, as part of PANCH‘s extraordinary three month long festival of performance art, BANG BANG.
For those unable to come or for those who came and are injterested to find out more, please see below a link of resources on contemporary art from North Macedonia, artists, instiutions and some writings. It’s not an exhaustive list but I shall be adding to it as time goes on! Hope you find it useful.
