Eviction of Culture

10 EUR

After nearly 24 years of being based at Metelkova 6, Maska Institute received a letter from the Ministry of Culture asking it to provide signed consent to move out. The same letter was sent to seventeen other civil-society and cultural non-governmental organisations working in the spaces of former military barracks, which separates the Autonomous Zone Metelkova from the museum square and facilities belonging to the administration of the Ministry of Culture. Some of these organisations have been using the building since 1994, when it became the property of the Ministry of Culture as a space intended for housing independent and alternative cultural and civil-society initiatives.

The title of the present issue of Maska is thus no mere metaphor. We are in the midst of an active eviction of culture. Not only from M6, but—systematically—from everywhere, which is why we had little choice in coming up with the topic of the present issue. It was dictated by necessity, since we first need to survive, so that we will eventually be able to continue to pursue topics defined by our mission and interests. Not only is the already diminished field of non-governmental culture and art being further constricted, and the spaces of creativity, theory and art production erased overnight (or in broad daylight)—all of this is done in the name of »balance«.
