IMPORT/EXPORT Performance, Belgrade (2026)

17/11/2025

Belgrade, thank you ❤️

A month has passed since the 2025 edition of IMPORT/EXPORT, and we are still holding the faces, bodies, gestures and encounters that filled those days. This trailer by .cam is an absolute tribute to you.

Returning to Serbia -where this project was first imagined- carried a special resonance for us. In such an intense moment for the country, the warmth and openness we received from artists, collaborators and audiences reminded us why we do this work: to build spaces of exchange, care and collective imagination across borders.

Belgrade marked the third year of our nomadic journey — three years of learning, failing, rebuilding and growing together.

And this chapter continues. For now, no more events are on the horizon, but a book:

"The IMPORT/EXPORT Handbook: A Guide Through Performance Art Documentation, Curation and Space", by the curatorial team selected by U10: Jovana Trifuljesko , Bojana Jovanović , Maja Petrović , Ana Simona Zelenović and Dunja Belić . Reflections, tools and traces from Livorno, Berlin and Belgrade, mapping what remains after performance: gestures, relationships across time, and the desire to keep moving together.
Where to next?
Time will tell.

For now: thank you, Belgrade.
And stay tuned — more is coming.
💙 Love, care, action, performance art

It’s a wrap!

On Saturday we closed this unique event called IMPORT/EXPORT Belgrade with strong, loud, playful performances. Dragana Žarevac faced an unmovable wall, raising a cry of resistance in solidarity with the student protests in Serbia. Darius Bogdanowicz’s videos travelled across the border between Turkey and Greece, while Aleksander Zain’s moved between the east and west of Italy in a profound, rhythmical reflection. Alma Gačanin guided us through a provocative choreography of service and selfhood, and Sharon Estacio invited us into the participatory Amerkána, an evolving and fragile community built through games of legal and illegal words.

It all ended, as it always does, with a wall painted white again, ready to start anew.

That’s how we closed IMPORT/EXPORT Belgrade, and that’s how we move on to our next steps in this nomadic journey.

More about that very soon. Stay tuned.

Yesterday we wrote love and revolution on skin at Flower Square, carried a damn heavy sofa through Kralja Milana, remembered our darkest pasts and speculated about our darkest futures, walked from the east to the west of Italy, and read poems at the border with Hungary.

That was quite a first evening for our IMPORT program.

And today there is more! Last chance to see it — do not miss this... it’s ephemeral!

From a mastered and hypnotic canvas to the pitiless torture of the body, yesterday we had an exquisite appetizer for what is to come this very weekend. Maria Novella Tattanelli@marianovellatattanelli_mnt performed her ACT II of Eclissi Urbane / Urban Eclipses within her exhibition in collaboration with Laura Sgherri , questioning how beauty, time, and transformation are perceived by the spectators.

Today is one of our biggest days! 5 performances, 3 videos, 1 exhibition.

Today, on the second day of our EXPORT program, we dove deep into body poetics and the history of performance art.

At , artist Marina Marković led her workshop “There Is No Reality Besides Corporeality”, where participants explored the body under constraint; through repetition, proximity, duration, and interruption.

Later, at Artget Gallery , Ana Simona Zelenović traced a “Short History of Performance Art as a History of Resistance”, mapping the political and feminist genealogies of the field across ex-Yugoslavia, from the early 20th century to today.

Tomorrow we move into new terrain: We conclude our educational EXPORT program with Maja Simišić’s workshop Restroy (SOLD OUT!) and we start warming up our IMPORT artworks program with the opening of the exhibition Eclissi Urbane / Urban Eclipses by Maria Novella Tattanelli and Laura Sgherri

IMPORT/EXPORT Belgrade has officially started! 💥

Today we opened the week with two powerful sessions that set the tone for what’s to come.

At the Goethe-Institut, artist Ivana Ranisavljević unfolded her lecture “Performance as an Act of Transgression and Resistance”, tracing performance as a field of rebellion, vulnerability, and liberation.

Later at our headquarters , Darius Bogdanowicz brought his novel Festival to life through a performative reading, weaving speculative narratives, performance art, and a reflection of the violences affecting people on the move in Europe.

The evening continued with our first Afterhours gathering, connecting the local and international community. ✨ Much more ahead this week — join us tomorrow!

Tuesday’s line-up:
15:00–18:00 — There Is No Reality Besides Corporeality, a performance workshop by Marina Marković @ U10 Art Space18:00–19:30 — Short History of Performance Art as a History of Resistance, a lecture by Ana Simona Zelenović @ Artget Gallery (KCB)
19:30–21:30 — Afterhours @ U10 Art Space
