„In conversation with…” was an online video series of conversations that Saša Asentić realized during the first lockdown in 2020 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The participants were artists developing their practice within the field of contemporary dance, performance and disability arts in New York, Berlin, Vienna, Teheran, Hamburg, Lisbon, Padova, Auckland, Warsaw, Athens and Novi Sad.
The main focuses of the conversations were on sharing experiences about how the pandemic affected everyone as artists and citizens, as well as what happens to art in a state of emergency and how it can contribute to strengthening a culture of solidarity.
The conversations were held in spoken English, German, Serbian, Farsi and Polish depending on the artists‘ language with consecutive translation in English.
The series „In conversation with…” took place in collaboration with Per.Art, Kampnagel - Internationales Zentrum für schönere Künste and PACT Zollverein as part of the Europe Beyond Accesss project.
Online visibility support was provided by Hellerau - Europäisches Zentrum der Künste, Mousonturm/ Tanzplattform Rhein-Main, Sophiensaele and Novi Sad 2021.
