\nMuseum of the Nineties, Kneza Milo\u0161a 3, Belgrade <\/p>\n
For Novi optimizam, October 5 is the most significant date in Serbia\u2019s modern history. It marks the most important social and political change in contemporary Serbia and stands as a symbol of civic courage, solidarity, responsibility, and the possibility of social change. At the same time, for us, it is a symbol of optimism that must not be allowed to fade. <\/p>\n
That is why, on October 5, Novi optimizam and the Museum of the Nineties, in collaboration with KUD Sloboda from Zrenjanin, are organizing a central commemoration of this date through the exhibition \u201cRinging Against Silence,\u201ddedicated to the Green Bell from Zrenjanin. <\/p>\n
The Green Bell began operating in 1991, at a time of war, the dissolution of the state, and shrinking space for freedom of thought. For more than two decades, it was a place for music, art, conversation, encounters, and diverse opinions. <\/p>\n
The exhibition presents part of the preserved archive of the Green Bell \u2014 photographs, posters, newspaper articles, tickets, and other documentation \u2014 and recalls a time when culture, public dialogue, and civic courage represented important forms of resistance to silence.<\/p>\n
As part of the exhibition, a panel discussion titled \u201cRinging Against Silence\u201d will be moderated by Dragoljub \u201cDra\u017ea\u201d Petrovi\u0107, Editor-in-Chief of Danas.<\/p>\n
Participants:<\/p>\n
\u017deljko Bodro\u017ei\u0107, journalist and President of NUNS
\nMarina Fratucan, journalist<\/p>\n
Dr. Ivan Medenica, theatre critic, theatre scholar, and university professor
