Temra Pavlovic, a media artist based in Amsterdam, talks to Yelena Zhelezov about family history, inherited memories of the former Yugoslavia, and the precarity of place-language connection. Does being in a place vs not being in a place affects what we can say? Can we be dislocated by language? How does the voice change when we are physically detached from the place we are speaking of? Listen in for notes on The Non-Aligned Movement, the ultimate definition of “Ghostland,” and a refresher on the 1980’s version of marketing through “social justice.”
Media artist currently living in Amsterdam.
