Episode 3 with Roshanak and Uroš is about the dog whistles politics where language is used as a weapon of othering, the poetics of everyday language such as signing, protest chants; and some of us learning what toponyms and odonyms are.

Together, they have worked on many curatorial, artistic, and publishing projects, and are, along with Mariam Kalandarishvili, founding members of the collective Center for Peripheries.

Uroš and Roshanak are currently working on a curatorial project The Other Side of Water which is showing at the Podroom Gallery in the Cultural Center Belgrade (Serbia), from April 14th to May 19th.

Roshanak Amini is a visual artist currently living and working in Berlin, Germany. She was born in Iran and immigrated to Canada at the age of thirteen. Over the last 5 years Amini has focused on how art can enter into and impact the space of everyday life. Her belief in and commitment to the accessibility of art has inspired her to step outside of the gallery space and explore everyday spaces whether digital or physical spaces in which art can exist. Participatory art, artistic interventions, public installation and performative research have been central to her artistic practice. Roshanak considers making art as a way to respond to the world around her, to place some stones in the river in the hopes of slightly changing the course of the water.

Uroš Pajović is a researcher, art director, and curator. He perceives self-management and non-alignment as paradigmatic starting points for research around politics of space and international solidarity within the Third World, aiming to connect them to contemporary principles, and toward a hope for a global left. He loves signage in public space, Californian toponyms and odonyms, and crossing the street on red.
