We invite you to a presentation of the work and practices of Belgrade
based collective “Jednostavno rečeno” (Simply Put) in Kolektiv Radio
in Prizren, on September 17th and 1930 – Nenad Pinter and Luka
Knežević Strika will present two of the publications and the work and
experiences in previous several years.

Jednostavno rečeno is an organization whose focus is on researching,
collecting and mediating legacies of the industrial heritage of
Yugoslavia as reflected in the stories of the country’s important
factories. Founded in 2021, the initiative is led by artists,
researchers and cultural workers with many years of experience in
urban and cultural policies, activism, social security/welfare and
contemporary art. Our aim is to bring to light and reexamine specific
values of the industrialization period, including the importance of
public goods and the heritage of self-governance, which had an immense
influence on everyday life, culture,work organization, and social and
economic equality. Through direct encounters and participation, we
seek to establish solidarity networks of cooperation with people
connected to the former large industrial centers in the country, to
collect, document and archive their stories and testimonies and
present them to the local, regional and international community.
Through the direct experiences of the workers, the project opens a
treasury of ideas and knowledge stored in the memory of the workers,
which we see as important resources in democratic innovation today,
implementing values of participation and active citizenship in all
aspects of society. Our research is channeled through different media
such as photography, video, publications, exhibitions, and we foster
connections with the local archives, collections, native museums,
libraries and other cultural institutions as well as other
organizations from the field of culture (both art and heritage),
research and activism.
