„Naša umetnost je naša borba! Naša dela, naš glas!”3 Transformativne umetničke prakse u aktuelnim studentskim protestima: slučaj izložbi ‘stUUdenti’

Abstract

This article analyzes the transformative role of student-led artistic practices within the ongoing student movement and recent protests in Serbia, focusing on two exhibitions titled “stUUdenti”. Drawing on Jacques Rancière’s concept of aesthetic experience, the study explores the exhibitions’ content, organization, and social context to understand how collective art practices operate as forms of resistance, social critique, and community building. Research findings indicate that these practices disrupt traditional hierarchies within the art system, foster participatory engagement, and produce new social relations through embodied gestures, collective silences, and performative interventions. The exhibitions show how art can function as a tool for social transformation by merging aesthetic experience with activism, emphasizing care, vulnerability, and mutual empowerment. By foregrounding the intersections of art, activism, and social engagement, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of art’s role in facilitating societal change and fostering collaborative, community-oriented cultural practices.Tekst istražuje transformativnu ulogu studentskih umetničkih praksi unutar aktuelnog stu dentskog pokreta i širih protesta u Srbiji, sa fokusom na dve izložbe pod nazivom „stUUden t i“. Kroz analizu sadržaja, organizacione strukture i društvenog konteksta izložbi, oslanjajući se na koncept estetskog iskustva Jacquesa Rancièrea, istražuje se potencijal kolektivnih umetničkih praksi kao oblika otpora, društvene kritike i izgradnje zajednice. Studija ukazuje da ove prakse narušavaju tradicionalne hijerarhije unutar umetničkog sistema, podstiču par t icipaciju i kreiraju nove društvene odnose kroz telesne gestove, kolektivne tišine i druge performativne intervencije. Spajanjem estetskog iskustva i aktivizma, uz naglašavanje brige, ranjivosti i uzajamnog osnaživanja, izložbe demonstriraju ulogu umetnosti u procesu druš tvene transformacije. Tekst se fokusira na presek umetnosti, aktivizma i društvenog anga žmana kako bi doprineo dubljem razumevanju odnosa umetnosti i društvenih promena, kao i potencijala umetnosti u razvoju kolaborativnih kulturnih praksi usmerenih ka izgradnji zajednice
