The art galleries and their work with local artists. 3- 5 October
Through the exploration of local art practices, in a joint interdisciplinary discursive thinking, followed by exhibiting examples, we will try to locate the local or globally recognizable contextual and artistic conditions in which art thought is generated.
Main points of problematization
- Art between words - After the dialogue
- Local artistic practices, local or global conditions
- Contextualization of artistic production
- Defining types of exhibitions, independent, group, retrospective, engaged art – what does it mean for curator?

The National Gallery of Macedonia, founded in 1948, is the oldest fine art institution of its kind in the Republic of North Macedonia. It is located in the cultural-historical monument of Islamic profane architecture, Daut Pasha Hamam. The building is composed of a male and female part with a total area of 900 m2, built by Daut Pasha in the second half of the 15th century.
