Dr Branislava Kuburović: Subtile Transitions Conference

Branislava is the Programme Leader for the MA Fine Art programme. Her artistic background is in theatre directing and performance, which has expanded to include writing and research in performance and visual culture, and translation for cultural institutions.

Subtile Transitions Conference

In April, 2024, the annual conference for the Memory & Arts Working Group, part of the Memory Studies Association event series, was held in Prague under the title "Subtle Transitions." The conference brings together an international collective of academics and creatives from around the world who meet to discuss the role of art in the preservation, transmission, and transformation of memory. Its aim is to form long-term working groups that collaborate on different projects and publications.

Branislava, representing PCU, co-hosted and organised the conference alongside Irena Řehořová and Ondřej Váša from the Faculty of Humanities at Charles University, all of whom are actively involved in the Prague Working Group. The two-day conference took place at PCU’s Bishop’s Court Studios and Kampus Hybernská.

As the conference was in Prague, the majority of the workshops and presentations examined memory and the "gentle shifts" within the complex cultural, social, and natural environment of Central East Europe. The presentations were themed into blocks and included:

• Narrative and photographic representations of the past
• Post-Socialist memory and identity
• Transformations of memory through artistic practice
• Memory and natural environment
