Marta Popivoda at MoMA, NY - March 14th, 7pm

Dear colleagues,


On *Monday, March 14th at 7pm*, The Museum of Modern Art, New York will
present the U.S. premiere of *Yugoslavia, How Ideology Moved Our Collective
Body* (2013) by the Berlin–based Serbian filmmaker *Marta Popivoda*.
Popivoda's work at the intersection of performance and film often explores
the structure of the cultural and political spheres in both the former
Yugoslavia and the broader contemporary world. *Yugoslavia, How Ideology
Moved Our Collective Body* deals with the question of how ideology reveals
itself in public space through mass performances. The author collected and
analyzed film and video footage from the Yugoslavia years (1945–2000),
focusing on state performances (youth work actions, May Day parades,
celebrations of the Youth Day, etc.) and counter-demonstrations (student
and civic demonstrations in 1968 and the 1990s, the 5 October Overthrow of
2000, etc.). Going back through the images, the film traces how Communist
ideology was gradually exhausted through the changing relations between the
people, ideology, and the state.


After the screening, the artist will be joined for a conversation by *Ana
Janevski*, Associate Curator, Department of Media and Performance Art.



Please, reserve your tickets here
<https://www.moma.org/calendar/events/1893?locale=en>. The screening and
conversation will take place in MoMA'a Titus 2 Theater, accessible via the
Ronald S. and Jo Carole Lauder Building entrance, east of MoMA's main
entrance at 11 West 53 Street.
