BITTA re-GENERATION IS OUT!!!
Lazies and Germans,
dear
readers, artists and friends,
Here we
are together again, in the second volume of Bitta Generation publication, which
brings you another collection of drawings, graphic art, short documentary
comics stories, street art and video animation art, that was all created during
the various meetings of the Bitta Generation network in the previous year.
This
time, we specifically publish artworks that were created during the workshops
that took place in Banja Luka , Bosnia , and Pančevo , Serbia
Bitta
Generation, an international network of young artists who decided to dedicate
part of their time, skills and careers to support and discuss various
environmental actions in different local communities worldwide through their
art, has changed a bit since the publication of previous Bitta Book. In
general, our crew grew a bit bigger in the meantime, we have established new
partnerships and have broaden our range of international contacts – this time,
we bring you artworks of authors from Italy, Serbia, Macedonia, Spain, Cyprus,
Portugal, Bosnia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Slovenia and Romania. More than that,
Bitta crew has also mastered some new disciplines and tools in their activities
– besides comics, video animation and graphic art, we have broaden the spectrum
of our creative processes by including the graffiti and street art workshops,
as an important area of practice and tool of influencing the collective
consciousness of local communities.
If we
could compare the previous Bitta publication with a boat that is carrying a
group of passengers and stopping here and there in different ports, spending
some time in each stop in order to get inspired and initiate creative response
to the local context before embarking on into further adventures, this time we
could say that we almost upgraded Bitta to a kind of a spaceship. The spectrum
of topics has broaden to a more general, so to say global overview on local
problems and initiatives in the region of Balkans, including also innovative
formal interpretations of already known, universal environmental problems and
arguments that are floating around them. As last two years have brought the
blossom of participative democracy practices all over the world, personal and
informal engagement became the most often practiced model of contributing to
the global or communal changes. All over the world, common people are less and
less patient in their demands and their ability to cope with the compromises is
decreasing, which is something that Bitta Generation network strongly supports.
Living a conscious and responsible life as part of broader community, for us
means also being ready to contribute to the common goals and support the
changes with the means of your abilities, skills and contributions in specific
areas of your personal mastery and interest. Enjoy the Bitta Generation vol 2,
see you soon!
Bitta
Generation Team
