BELGRADE FOR THE TRAVELERS IN THE FIRST ENCOUNTER
SQUAT
2017
Group of artists and activists occupied 3000m2 empty military building in Belgrade, that was standing empty for a decade,
with the idea to repurpose the empty space for different activities in collaboration with the people who live in the same neighbourhood. To organize activities that are lacking in that aria and also to open space for different public activities free of charge and to use the building as the temporary living space for the people who are homles, to create a social centre. Also to use the space for artist studios and for cultural events. The occupation lasted for 8 months, while we were getting the building in to shape for public opening…cleaning, did some small repairs… After the long winter and a lot of work…NNK Squat was open…we organised a two day event with a lot of program happening...

...then the army came
Opening of the building had to happen at the exact date due to different circumstances, but the inner organisation of NNK was not ready for the confrontation with the authorities…so when military and the police came we had to, after one week of locking ourselves inside, eventually leave the building and continue to put the pressure on them outside of the fence...protest lasted for another week and then we were definitely gone…but!
...then we got the boat
Somebody saw all the fuss around military building on TV…ha was majority owner of a boat that was originally built for marital purposes of King Petr in first Yugoslavia, then was used by Tito in our Yugoslavia and later, after the fall of Yugoslavia, privatised…Rrecently the boat was caught by fire and damaged, so it was not used for some time…The owner of the boat had the idea that NNK social center could use the boat until we find something better, to give it a life of some kind...and he was right, it was a great opportunity to move to the boat and use it as social centre with different activities - cultural, social and political…NNK social centre was operating on the boat until the end of 2019...

Photos - my neighborhood in Belgrade
CONTRASTS
Due to the transition in to capitalism to build fast and without any consideration to anything, most beautiful buildings in my neighbourhood started to disappear…the only thing I could do is to take photos of those that were still there to keep the spirit alive!
