U 𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐝𝐣𝐞𝐥𝐣𝐚𝐤 𝟐𝟓. 𝐬𝐯𝐢𝐛𝐧𝐣𝐚, 𝟐𝟎𝟐6. u 19:30 sati u Apoteci – prostoru za suvremenu umjetnost u Vodnjanu održat će se otvorenje izložbe 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐚𝐣𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐥 i 𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐧č𝐞𝐯𝐢ć 𝐒𝐤𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐨 𝐬𝐯𝐞 š𝐭𝐨 𝐣𝐞 𝐯𝐚ž𝐧𝐨.
tajammol i Crnčević predstavit će se radom 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐥𝐣𝐢𝐯𝐢 𝐩𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐝 , a iste večeri održat će se izvedbeno čitanje Karle Crnčević 𝐒𝐤𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐨 𝐬𝐯𝐞 š𝐭𝐨 𝐣𝐞 𝐯𝐚ž𝐧𝐨 s početkom u 𝟐𝟎 𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢. Izložba ostaje otvorena do 10. lipnja, 2026.
Kroz analognu interaktivnu instalaciju 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐥𝐣𝐢𝐯𝐢 𝐩𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐝 behshad tajammol i Karla Crnčević istražuju dva različita arhiva odnosno arhiv iranskog ženskog pokreta i jugoslavenskih partizanki, prateći suptilne odjeke i zajednički jezik koji ih povezuje. Instalacija je satkana od tekstualnih fragmenata i detalja preuzetih iz povijesnih dokumenata čime se rad vraća samom činu svjedočenja, propitujući kako se prošlost vidi, bilježi i ponovno zamišlja.
Izvedbeno čitanje 𝐒𝐤𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐨 𝐬𝐯𝐞 š𝐭𝐨 𝐣𝐞 𝐯𝐚ž𝐧𝐨 Karle Crnčević oslanja se na njezino istraživanje arhivske građe povezane s Antifašističkim frontom žena i šire. U autoričinom je fokusu kolektivna memorija o ulozi žena u pokretima otpora, ali i pitanje kako pristupiti povijestima koje su fragmentirane, utišane ili tek djelomično vidljive. Uz tekst, sliku i odsustvo slike, Crnčević će predstaviti dosadašnji proces rada, usmjeren na oblikovanje pogleda i percepcije o specifičnim detaljima borbi i različitim oblicima otpora koje su žene 1930-ih i 1940-ih godina pružale na teritoriju Jugoslavije. Izlaganje će propitati prostore (ne)vidljivosti, transparentnosti i neraspoznatljivosti, oslanjajući se na Glissantovo pravo da se subjekt, slika ili povijest ne moraju u potpunosti razotkriti, prevesti ili učiniti čitljivima kako bi bili priznati. U tom smislu, arhiv se ne pojavljuje samo kao mjesto pronalaska zaboravljenih znanja, nego i kao prostor granica, šutnji i odnosa koje nije nužno do kraja stabilizirati. Kombinacijom govora, slike i zvuka, bit će predstavljena krnja iskustvena mapa arhiva nastala tokom istraživačkog putovanja.
𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐥a 𝐂𝐫𝐧č𝐞𝐯𝐢ć je filmska radnica čija se praksa nalazi na sjecištu rada s filmom, istraživanjima arhiva i prostorima sjećanja. Jedna je od osnivačica i kustosica platforme KINO UNSEEN, posvećene promišljanju cirkulacije filmske slike, kulturnih politika i reaktivaciji kino-prostora kao mjesta susreta. Njezin se rad kreće između dokumentarnih i eksperimentalnih formi, često kroz suradničke i procesualne pristupe. U središtu njezine prakse nalazi se istraživanje sjećanja kao spekulativnog polja: načina na koje osobne i kolektivne povijesti oblikuju slike, krajolike i društvene odnose u sadašnjosti. Njeni filmovi i video radovi prikazivani su u domaćem i međunarodnom kontekstu.

On Monday, May 25, 2025, at 7:30 PM, the exhibition We hid everything important by behshad tajammol and Karla Crnčević opens at Apoteka – Space for Contemporary Art in Vodnjan. The exhibition remains open until June 10, 2026.
tajammol and Crnčević will present the work Invisible Gaze, followed by a performative reading of Karla Crnčević’s We hid everything important at 8 PM.
Invisible Gaze examines two distinct archives of Iranian women’s movement and Yugoslavian partisan women, tracing the subtle echoes and shared language that bind them. Composed of textual fragments and details drawn from historical documents, the piece revisits the act of witnessing, questioning how the past is seen, recorded, and reimagined through time.
Karla Crnčević’s performative reading We hid everything important draws on her research into archival materials connected to the Antifascist Women’s Front and beyond. At the center of her focus is collective memory of women’s roles in resistance movements, as well as the question of how to approach histories that are fragmented, silenced, or only partially visible. Through text, image, and the absence of image, Crnčević will present her ongoing work process, directed toward shaping ways of seeing and perceiving specific details of struggle and the different forms of resistance enacted by women in the 1930s and 1940s across the territory of Yugoslavia. The presentation will examine spaces of (in)visibility, transparency, and opacity, drawing on Glissant’s notion of the right of a subject, image, or history not to be fully disclosed, translated, or made legible in order to be recognized. In this sense, the archive appears not only as a site for recovering forgotten knowledge, but also as a space of limits, silences, and relations that need not be fully stabilized. Combining speech, image, and sound, the presentation will offer a partial experiential map of the archive, shaped through the course of a research journey.
behshad tajammol is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice unfolds at the intersection of sociopolitical structures, language, and lived realities. With a particular focus on the political dimensions of language, voice, and memory, her work is grounded in an ongoing inquiry into the processes of personal and collective memory formation and their role in shaping historical consciousness. tajammol studied sculpture at Teheran Art University and holds a diploma from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of the Arts Bremen, where she completed the Meisterschüler*innen program in 2023.
Karla Crnčević is a film worker whose practice is situated at the intersection of film, archival research, and spaces of memory. She is one of the founders and curators of Kino Unseen, a platform dedicated to rethinking the circulation of the moving image, cultural policy, and the reactivation of cinema spaces as sites of encounter. Her work moves between documentary and experimental forms, often through collaborative and process-based approaches. At the center of her practice is the exploration of memory as a speculative field: the ways in which personal and collective histories shape images, landscapes, and social relations in the present. Her films and video works have been shown in both local and international contexts.
