A full presentation of Off-Site: Diasporic Imaginaries of the Balkan Edge can be found here.
Through a series of exhibitions that approximate the Balkan space, this project composes a set of research questions that center both an ontological condition and propose an epistemic shift in the contemporary state of post-Socialist identity and place: In what ways can the scale of the Balkans be re-imagined and by whom? How do historical conditions complicate the geographic binary of periphery and center to rethink edges as mobile and discrete sites of diasporic life? How do we approach the production of knowledge from the edge? Off-Site frames a collective curriculum to mobilize future pedagogical endeavors and introduce new research methodologies through alternative forms of archivation, circulation and distribution.
Researchers: Pauline Shongov, Boris Angelov, and Maya Shopova
