Foreign students of the Master’s program Visual Arts at UMPRUM in Prague will present their works at the exhibition A Little Party Might Kill Somebody. In the Bratislava venue A4, they will reflect on the current political situation in Slovakia from the perspective of their home countries.
When looking at politics today, do you also sometimes feel as if you are watching satire? Except you aren’t. It could be funny in a different universe, or maybe 10 years ago, but it isn’t here and now. Nonetheless, we still use humor and amusement as a way to deal with this grim reality. It can either help to cope and empower, or it can create lightheartedness in the face of oblivion.
In 𝐀 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲, artists from the Visuals Arts master’s program at UMPRUM in Prague reflect on the current political climate of Slovakia, from their own international perspectives. Politicians are undermining democracy, and this is not unique to Slovakia. In this exhibition, we find parallel realities of repression and obfuscation. ‘A little party’ can then be understood in many different ways, from political influence on cultural funding to being complicit by looking away.
