RECET Festival

Last week, we had the pleasure of being a partner of the RECET Festival of Historical and Social Sciences 2026. Under the theme “Transformations of Labour”, the festival explored the many forms, meanings and changing realities of work across past and present societies.   

 On 10 June, research assistant Elena Marko attended the panel discussion “Gastarbajteri”, moderated by Miranda Jakiša, which focused on art and activism relating to guest workers and addressed, among other things, the question of how the experiences of guest workers and their subsequent generations can be artistically processed from a post-migrant perspective. Olga Kosanović (filmmaker), Marko Marković (hor 29. novembar), Anna Seidel (MUSMIG Museum of Migration), and Katharina Tyran (University of Helsinki) offered fascinating insights into the relationship between migration, art and identity, and demonstrated how artistic and activist work can challenge and influence social conditions.
