And what do others have to say?: Representative Democracy in the Light of the Current Political Situation

Via Negativa’s performance entitled Just the Beginning, triggering contemplation on the role we play in a representative democracy, will be followed by a debate evening Representative Democracy in the Light of the Current Political Situation. The debate will expand the contemplation initiated by the performance in an informal manner and address issues such as parliamentarianism, the concept of representativeness, our influence on making political decisions or, better yet, the lack of such influence, and the current self-organised initiatives, demanding reforms.

The debate will be hosted by Lana Zdravković, researcher and activist, and Nenad Jelesijević, art critic and researcher, both of them known as the performing duo KITCH, in collaboration with Tjaša Pureber, journalist and researcher, Žiga Vodovnik, political science expert, Via Negativa and all the event visitors.
