Passing Lines

SCUB
Situated at the intersection of art, research and society, PABR is a research practice that uses the arts as resources for fostering interaction between research and the public. It is applied within SCUB for rendering inclusive and accessible research practices in and for society.
We envision travelling as an open-scripted itinerary, traversing different notions of the Balkan as a tangible and intangible territory. SCUB promotes the open travelling practice negotiating the meaning and roles of the host and the guest as co-creators of a journey.
Socially engaged art can include any artform which involves people and communities in debate, collaboration or social interaction. The use of socially engaged art within SCUB aims to foster cultural democracy and diversity.
Myths are an essential instrument of worldmaking and continuously shape our understanding of a territory and a culture. Myths are found often in our ways in which we speak of a territory and the result of competing narratives and views of the world. The research conducted within SCUB seeks to uncover and debunk contemporary myths and misconceptions of the Balkans.
