Prōtocollum 2016/2017
Feature in an international jurnal on contemporary art

The new issue of PRŌTOCOLLUM was recently published, with 76 visual artists and art collectives from 50 countries.

PRŌTOCOLLUM is an annually published anthology dedicated to non-Western contemporary visual artists, art narratives and art history.

The third issue of the journal is introduced with Vesna Bukovec’s ironic comment ‘Continue as if everything is right’, alluding to the cognitive dissonance that allows us to continue our life as usual in a world that is not only full of social and political injustice, war, terror, mass flight and migration, but also experiencing political reactions to these developments in the form of populism and neo-nationalistic tendencies, which are at least as disturbing as the events that caused them. This introduction sets the tone for PRŌTOCOLLUM 2016/17, which is somewhat more sombre and sadder than the previous editions.
