Skopje 2014: Symbolic and Citizens' Narratives N2 - Focusing on the neoliberal symbolic urban reconstruction of the Macedonian capital, known as “Skopje 2014”, the PhD work deals with urban space production through storytelling. Embracing the criticism put forward in the political, cultural and social debates that have spun around Skopje’s reconstruction, the artistic-based research sought to relate and analyze the symbolic narratives of “Skopje 2014” and the vernacular and civic narratives of Skopje and locate overlapping, divergent, complementary or conflictual aspects of their respective narrative structures. Informed by subjective citizens’ stories and experiences of the urban as well as binaural sonic observations of the city, the research findings were presented in the form of an interactive audio guided walk through the city. The thesis is organized in three chapters, preceded by an INTRODUCTION and followed by a CONCLUSION. CHAPTER ONE sets the theoretical context, presents the case study “Skopje 2014”, and discusses the research design. The audio guided walk is presented in CHAPTER TWO. Its content consists of five tracks, or subchapters, conceptualized and named as five different aspects of the city: THE MODERNIST CITY, THE FEMALE CITY, THE MEMORY CITY, THE POSTCOMMUNIST CITY and THE TOURIST CITY, according to the discourses related to these tracks. CHAPTER THREE, the EPILOGUE, is the final discussion of the research project, in which several meta-conclusions are drawn.

Museum of Solidarity N2 - The artistic research work is concerned with webs of transnational artistic solidarity, especially those ingrained in the Nonaligned Movement (NAM), which embraced differences and united them in a common anti-imperialist and anti-colonial fight. Taking the museum as an artefact of historically situated solidarity, the project examines the instruments of transnational art solidarity for conceiving, developing and implementing decolonial cultural practices today. The main research question regards thinking about whether and how the emancipatory potential of the transnational art solidarity can be extracted, recuperated and translated when dealing with present issues of cultural decolonisation. Three museums founded on the bases of international solidarity and donations of artworks form the case study. Consequently, the research findings are systematised in three discourses: The Autonomous Museum; The Decolonial Museum; and The Museum in Exile. N2 - Die künstlerische Forschungsarbeit befasst sich mit den Netzwerken der transnationalen künstlerischen Solidarität, insbesondere denen, die zwischen den Ländern des Globalen Südens zwischen den 1960er und den 1980er entstanden sind. Ausgehend von dem Museum als einem Artefakt historisch verankerter Solidarität untersucht das Projekt die Instrumente der transnationalen Kunstsolidarität für die Konzeption, Entwicklung und Umsetzung dekolonialer kultureller Praktiken heute. Die Hauptforschungsfrage besteht darin, ob und wie das emanzipatorische Potenzial der transnationalen Kunstsolidarität für die Auseinandersetzung mit aktuellen Fragen der kulturellen Dekolonisierung genutzt, zurückgewonnen und übersetzt werden kann. Drei Museen, die auf der Grundlage von Schenkungen von Kunstwerken gegründet wurden, bilden die Fallstudie. Folglich werden die Forschungsergebnisse in drei Diskursen systematisiert: Das autonome Museum, das dekoloniale Museum und das Museum im Exil.
