Photography Workshop “The Nineties” with Srđan Veljović

May 30, June 6, June 13 & June 20, 2026

11:00

The Nineties Photography Workshop, led by photographer and conceptual documentarian Srđan Veljović, is conceived as a discussion group exploring the 90s through the perspective of personal photographic archives.

Starting from the idea that discourse about the past is deeply ideological and that establishing a single narrative about this period is nearly impossible, the workshop creates space for a different kind of conversation about the 90s — through photography, personal experience, and subjective perspectives.

“The past is something that cannot be avoided today wherever we go, whether backward or forward, something that concerns everyone, everywhere… A past more relevant than the present and more uncertain than the future.”
— Boris Buden, Introduction to the Past

Through photographs addressing the 90s from different, predominantly subjective viewpoints, participants will collaboratively build their own narratives about the past.

Each session functions as a standalone workshop, focusing on different themes and photographic cycles from Srđan Veljović’s body of work: the period from the Eighth Session of the Central Committee of Serbia to October 5th, photographs of Prague and Berlin during the fall of the Berlin Wall, experiences related to the Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA) and the 1999 NATO intervention, the lives of (New) Belgrade youth in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as Srebrenica commemorations.

Srđan Veljović (b. 1968) is a photographer and conceptual documentarian whose work explores questions of identity, borders, memory culture, and social transformation. He has exhibited extensively in Serbia, the region, and internationally, and served as Artistic Director of the Artget Gallery at the Belgrade Cultural Centre in 2023.
