Maska journal

YUFU 2.0

The oldest European journal for performing arts, Maska, came up with a special edition on Yugofuturism, YUFU 2.0. This is Maska’s further attempt in the direction of searching for a future after its proclaimed end. It is only logical to first dig in the region – but how to do it without disturbing the dead? How to find a common ground to again open a Yugoslav futuristic horizon in the arts and beyond it? In the journal, we give voice above all to the transitional generation, which knows the former country more as a narrative and less as an experience, but desperately needs a source of perspective in times where its level is ecologically and economically, especially in the region, close to zero. However, this does not mean that we are not critical of the idea of ​​Yugofuturism. It may as well be a cynical ideal, a trap or in the best case, a utopia. But what have we to lose? The magazine brings together 14 theoretical, artistic or hybrid contributions by authors from the region, who put their stone in the YUFU mosaic in the making.
