Zvjezdane staze

Zvjezdane staze Independent artist residency in central Bosnia and Herzegovina, near the medieval fortress of Bobovac. Founded by Belma Bešlić-Gál.

Sound, music, visual and media arts, literature, performance. The Artist in Residence programme Zvjezdane staze [AiRZS] is an independent, non-profit, primarily privately funded initiative, envisioned in 2019 by the Austrian composer, pianist and curator Belma Bešlić-Gál. Nestled amidst the montanious landscape of central Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the village of Mijakovići – which was recently na

med one of the most beautiful villages in the country – this pioneering project is set to make its debut in July 2024. The aim is to bring together internationally renowned professionals with up-and-coming artists in the immediate vicinity of the historic site of Bobovac, the former royal residence of the Bosnian kings from the Kotromanić dynasty. The initiative is based on an ethos rooted in inclusivity and collaboration, offering an inspiring environment where visiting artists can participate in creation, co-creation, and re-creation. It strives to champion the dissemination of culture, the engagement of the local community, the cultivation of cross-sector partnerships, the stimulation of economic growth, and the enduring sustainability of our various activities. In essence, it is about establishing an Incubator of Ideas that could potentially have a far-reaching impact not only on the cultural and artistic development of the local community, but on the region as a whole. While contemporary classical and experimental music and performance art will play a central role, the overall scope of our initiative extends to a wide range of artistic expressions including visual arts and literature. By collaborating with artists, ensembles, associations, foundations and institutions locally and internationally, we aim to build long-term relationships with cultural and touristic institutions. Despite the region’s far-reaching historical significance, up to now, it has remained largely uncharted by the international artistic community. The project aims at creating new opportunities for further societal and artistic development. It lays the foundations for lasting partnerships and collaborations that can contribute to the overall picture of European culture.

Attuning to mystical transmissions — the sonic mycelium of the environment's chemical-vibrational communication — creates elemental music of the landscape: the lithosphere, trees, river, minerals, and subtle beings. Signals flow between bodies, roots, branches, summer flowers and fireflies, lichens and stones, shimmering light and misty veils, the Earth's core and mountains thundering rhythms, waters and the atmosphere.

How can we eavesdrop to the Tree, their ancient voices, imprinted through water molecules, manifested as leaves or bark? Where do we descend through multidimensional voices of the River? If we expand our ears towards inaudible within Stone, do we travel through time? What do I hear when I melt through expanded, technologically augmented sensory organs?

Zahvaljujemo BHRT na posjeti i informativnom prilogu, te Turistička zajednica Zeničko-dobojskog kantona na promociji naših aktivnosti. Smatramo da savremena konceptualna umjetnost pripada ruralnom koliko i urbanom kontekstu. Ona je refleksija pulsa vremena, promišljanja i doživljavanja svrhe ljudskog postojanja, od pamtivijeka. U naredne dvije sedmice prezentujemo nastale radove u okviru rezidencijalnog programa "✦·TEREN_SЛОЈЕVИ⁰⁰¹·Δ26: Sound / Extraction / Memory". Dobro nam došli!

Film 𝑃𝑐̌𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑗𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝐾𝑖𝑗𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑡 prikazan je na solsticij, 21. juna, s početkom u devet sati navečer. Uvodnu riječ dala je Azra Jašarević, koja je film potpisala zajedno sa svojom sestrom Larisom.

Larisa Jašarević je antropologinja i pčelarka. Doktorirala je na Univerzitetu u Chicagu, gdje je potom predavala deset godina. Od 2014. istražuje pčelarstvo, ekologiju pčela u izmijenjenoj klimi i islamsku eshatologiju u Bosni i Hercegovini. Živi na planini i drži pčele. Knjigu istog naslova objavila je 2024. kod Indiana University Press, u otvorenom pristupu.

Azra Jašarević je nezavisna filmska umjetnica. Školovala se na Međunarodnoj školi filma i televizije u San Antoniju de los Baños na Kubi. Od 2020. u Tuzli vodi filmsku i multimedijalnu školu.

Impresije: Razgovor poslije projekcije tekao je bez podjele na govornika i publiku. Ljudi su pitali Azru o filmu, govorili o vlastitim košnicama, o tome šta se mijenja na paši. Pčele se drže u nekoliko domaćinstava u Mijakovićima. Hikaje o alametima nije trebalo objašnjavati.
