A hybrid of female and male differences, which captures the simi

Vuk Ćosić: Stop! Border
26.3.-25.4.2025 At one point, Borges took up Lewis Carroll's idea and wrote a short but powerful story about an empire where cartographers were so advanced that they drew a map on a scale of one to one, i.e., the size of the entire territory.

This story has become an important metaphor for semiologists, cartographers, an

Subburben / ŠUMskoVOCE #6
30.12.2025 Subburben is composed of Andrej Kobal and Gal Furlan. One mechanical, the other acoustic, together they explore and experiment with sound, searching for the intersections and frictions between two worlds. Their music could be genre-defined as psychedelic noise with a touch of free jazz, and the situations they find themselves in during improvisation create a wide and colorful spectrum of sounds. Gal Furlan is a drummer and percussionist who comes from the school of
