Nada Prlja “Wild and cultivated fruits market” Exhibition: March 24 to May 12 Drawing on her previous work on immigration and racism, which referenced for the most part her homeland in Bosnia-Macedonia and the United Kingdom as her current place of residence, Nada Prlja has created an exhibition for Klagenfurt that responds to the regional idiosyncrasies of the asylum system in the state of Carinthia and in Austria as a whole. Prlja’s exhibition uses what are in some cases provocative methods to ask whether it is possible to break through the cycle of continually recurring descriptions, arguments and prejudices. For this investigation, it is necessary to work out certain “archetypes” of fear and defensiveness against “strangers” and to examine conditioned ways of speaking that reinforce certain stereotypes, both on the part of the “natives” as well as—and this is characteristic of Prlja’s approach—on the part of the immigrants. While critical accounts of immigration and racism often focus exclusively on the conscience, tolerance or legal philosophy of those in the majority society, Prlja also addresses to the same degree the self-image of immigrants and their potential to productively change the way they talk about the social sphere, instead of simply dividing it between “us” and “them.”
