The Bring In Take Out Living Archive is a collaborative art project that works on the principals of sharing, information exchange, and ‘collective vs. individual knowledge’. With this continuous open call we are looking for information, documentation of art works and art works of women and feminist artists from the (trans/post)Yugoslav space. 
The still variably named region, mostly known as the Balkans, shares the common past of the country created/existed/destroyed during the long-lasting and turbulent 20th century. Defined by post-socialist transitional reversals (gender, class, nation), the newly established countries in the post-Yugoslav space have taken different roads towards the future, which this time share novel social and cultural frameworks of political amnesia and historical revisionism. 
The la selection of art works/exhibition presents a kind of a visual springboard of the entire la project. In regard to the question of feminism and art, three contexts can be extracted that go along with the intention to visualize (with contemporary art works) the event that is formally and content wise conceived with a feminist agenda. With the la Zagreb selection of art works, we hope to touch some of the aspects of the way in which feminism materializes in art, with a focus on the post/Yugoslav context. The three contexts relating to the selection are: the institutionalization methodology; new meanings through new readings; and geo-bio-politics of trans/post-Yugoslavia. 
The first edition of the LA will be organized in the framework of the REDacting TransYugoslav Feminisms: Women’s Heritage Revisited conference organized by the Center for Women’s Studies Zagreb.

The Zagreb edition of the Bring In Take Out Living Archive will feature an exhibition, live video/photo/audio documentation, different live working stations, interviews, discussions, artists’ talks and a performance as well as a concert by artists.
