Our team of curators, designers, technicians and producers — Natasha Kadin, Tihana Mandušić, Lana Beović, Tina Vukasović Đaković, Ivana Vukušić, Nikola Križanac, Gildo Bavčević, and Hrvoje Pelicarić — thus successfully completed another three-year-long journey during which we engaged with numerous thematic and conceptual questions, cooperated with 35 talented young artist who helped us grow and learn, and presented a total of 27 art projects to an ever-growing audience. Through this process we brought into focus and into public discourse a number of ongoing as well as some forgotten or even forbidden topics, thereby opening up channels of communication, interaction, and collaboration in an array of different fields — all within the framework of contemporary art and the civil sector. We press forward following the same principles, expanding our fields of interest, methods of education, production assets, and spatial, technical and human resources. We look forward to new challenges, new battlegrounds and levels of learning, and we invite you to join us on this journey with your own ideas, concepts, and activities.

One of the main concepts of the NMG platform is exhibiting new media works of young artists with an activist note. I always took this label loosely – yes, it is true that the focus is placed on new media, but the program is not defined or constrained by that. There is a variety of content and media presented throughout the years. There were ten exhibitions in 2016, eight the year after, and nine in 2018. Although exhibitions are the most visible part of the NMG@PRAKTIKA program, more focus should be placed on the accompanying content of each exhibition. The workshops, artist talks and lectures, which the Mavena association insists on from the beginning, contribute to the educational aspects every quality exhibition should contain. This is backed up by the fact that a curator workshop is held every year, depending on a specific exhibition picked for the program. In the space where young students seek curatorial experience outside of their universities, the NMG program provides an entrance to this world.
