Moving monument - moving back

Session

Art and Digital Media

Description

The public art piece that had the theme of 'Equality, work and education' and was located in the center of Mitrovica in the late 60s. For unknown reasons he was absent in 2010, reportedly left after the square was renovated, but never returned. This work for all of us who have grown up, but also who have passed in Mitrovica, has been a reference point for the city, not only because of the topic that is still current today, but also for the material and coexistence in the square. We never knew the author/authors, even though we researched so that they or their family members are informed about the initiative that we want to re. We found only the relative of the person who worked on the technical side, but not the author/authors. After what we did two years ago, a smaller copy for the third edition of Autostrata Bienale in Prizren, curated by Ovul O. Durmusoglu and Joanna Warsza, and which I call 'Moving monument', together with 'Autostrada' and the curators we believed that in the next edition we should return this work to the country of origin, in the city to which this work belongs. We hoped to return to the same form and material, in the fourth edition 'Autostrades...', which this time will also be held in Mitrovica, in cooperation with the municipality of Mitrovica and other supporters of the event. "Equality, work and education" as a topic are current and today, therefore, as a society and as a citizen, we thought we must join the motto of this work, therefore we believed that the work should be returned and it was returned from July 9 in the square of Mitrovica, where it will be there as a permanent work as it was.
