Fifth in a series of performed militant inquiries by the Institute of Radical Imagination, "Red, Green, Black and White" is based on the interviews of thirteen citizens and activists for social and climate justice. Zooming dizzily between the urban dimension of Zagreb and the global geo-political one, the work finds the words to touch on the hot spots of ethical, ecological and political responsibility today. Because it is no longer possible to remain silent without becoming complicit. This program is part of the Museum of the Commons project, part of L’Internationale, a confederation of the 14 European museums and other cultural institutions for contemporary art. It will be held at the entrance hall of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb on Sunday, January 21st at 4 pm.

About L’Internationale and the Museum of the Commons
L’Internationale, the confederation of major European museums, art institutions, research centres and think-tanks, takes its name from the workers’ anthem calling for an equitable democratic society, and references the historical labour movement. In learning from local and shared histories, L’Internationale focuses on what is to come, in imagining, developing and implementing new visions for a future that will be just, democratic and sustainable for everyone, planetwide.
Over the coming four years, L’Internationale will implement Museum of the Commons (2023–2026), a project granted €2,000,000 by the EU Creative Europe programme. During this period, the confederation will comprise 14 institutions: Museo Reina Sofía (Spain), MACBA (Spain), M HKA (Belgium), MSN (Poland), Salt (Turkiye), Van Abbemuseum (the Netherlands), MSU (Croatia), Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Germany), HDK-Valand (Sweden), NCAD (Ireland), ZRC SAZU (Slovenia), Institute of Radical Imagination (Italy), Tranzit.ro (Romania), Visual Culture Research Center (Ukraine), and two associate partners; IMMA (Ireland) and WIELS (Belgium), along with the L’Internationale Association.
