The Role of Mobility in Art Production: Serbian Artists in France

Ajkunić, Selena (avtor), Repič, Jaka (mentor), Gibert, Marie-Pierre (komentor)

In the thesis I observe the mobility of Serbian artists, who moved to France, specifically Paris, or lived there part of their lives. The thesis addresses the artists who migrated to France in the past thirty, thirty-five years, either in the times of Yugoslavia or Serbia. It will present the role of migration and mobility in their lives, how it shapes and influences their lives, their worldview, and their art production. The thesis is based on the research of people born in Yugoslavia and Serbia, as well as those of Serbian origin, who were born abroad but raised in Serbia. The thesis is divided into sections that are all based on life stories of the artists interviewed. It starts at the very beginnings of their artistic paths, moving onto their perception of migration and mobility as practices offering possibility of career advancement in art, and to their life situations in which they fulfill their artistic aspirations. Thanks to their accounts, it is possible to perceive how movement can change someone’s way of understanding life and art.

Izvleček

V nalogi sem opazovala mobilnost srbskih umetnikov, ki so se preselili ali vsaj delno živeli v Franciji, predvsem v Parizu. Naloga naslavlja predvsem umetnike, ki so se tja preselili v zadnjih tridesetih, petintridesetih letih, v času nekdanje Jugoslavije ali današnje Srbije. Predstavlja vlogo migracije in mobilnosti v njihovih življenjih, kako jih je izoblikovalo in vplivalo na njihova življenja, življenjske poglede, predvsem na njihovo umetnostno ustvarjalnost. Naloga temelji na raziskavi ljudi, rojenih v državah nekdanje Jugoslavije, in ljudi srbskih korenin, ki so rojeni v tujih državah, vendar so vseeno odraščali v Srbiji. Naloga je sestavljena iz delov, ki temeljijo na življenjskih zgodbah umetnikov. Začne se na začetku njihovih ustvarjalnih poti in nadaljuje v njihovih pogledih na migracije in mobilnosti kot prakse, ki jim omogočajo možnost kariernega napredovanja v umetnosti in svojih življenjskih okoliščinah, skozi katere izpopolnjujejo svoje umetniške oz. ustvarjalne težnje. S pomočjo njihovih zgodb je mogoče jasneje razumeti, kako selitev oz. migracija vpliva na njihovo razumevanje življenja in umetnosti.
