About
Belgrade based art activist group Š kart present their first UK retrospective exhibition documenting their socially engaged artworks over the past 20 years. Consistently influenced by political and social crisis in former Yugoslavia, Š kart's aesthetic has developed out of financial necessity, using cheap materials and live collaboration that reflects their working context. From forming a punk band to an all male embroidery group, their eclectic methods have included graphic design, poetry, video, embroidery and book making.
A live action space entitled 'Poetry Will be Written by All' will accompany the exhibition, hosting 'stand-up' on-site events.
