The anniversary will be marked by the event \u201c\u201968 in Rijeka and the World\u201d, organised jointly by the Department for Cultural Studies of the Rijeka University\u2019s Faculty of Philosophy, the Drugo more association, the SKC Gallery and the IKS Students\u2019 Association, as part of the project \u201cLandscapes of Memory\u201d of the Rijeka 2020 \u2013 European Capital of Culture programme line The Age of Power.<\/p>\n
The event starts on Wednesday, 23 May at 7 pm with the opening of the exhibition \u201cRevolt: \u201868 in Rijeka and the World\u201d in the SKC Gallery that operates within the cult Palach Club. The exhibition combines the story of powerful political protests from May 1968 with recent student movements and art practices calling for a reflection on the present and its problems. It includes archival material (articles from the Novi list newspaper and records from student assemblies) that followed the events in Zagreb and Rijeka that year, short documentaries showing the current student resistance at universities around the world and a selection of student art works.<\/p>\n
On the same day at 8 pm in OKC Palach a panel discussion will be held under the title \u201c1968: What was happening in the world and what in Rijeka?\u201d, with director Rajko Grli\u0107, historian Hrvoje Klasi\u0107, journalist Neven \u0160anti\u0107 and researcher Bruno Vignjevi\u0107. The debate will be followed by the music programme \u201cThe Rhythm of Revolution by Radio Ro\u017ea\u201d.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, 24 May, at 6.30 pm in OKC Palach there will be a screening of the documentary film \u201cPlenumovie\u201d by Rijeka authors Marta Batini\u0107, Ana Jur\u010di\u0107 and Sanja Kapid\u017ei\u0107, produced by Filmaktiva. The documentary highlights the problem of educational policies in the broader sense, reflecting the blockade of teaching at the Faculty of Philosophy in Rijeka in 2009 and intertwining archive footage with reflections of the protagonists four years after the events.<\/p>\n
After the screening, at 8 pm, a large forum titled \u201cThe Rijeka Resistance: the Blockade of 2009\u201d will be held with the participation of Zorana Jan\u010di\u0107, Bruno Nedoklan, Ivana Kljaji\u0107 and Renato Stankovi\u0107, along with a number of other participants of the blockade and others guests. The forum will be followed by the music programme \u201c86 by Mile Hund\u201d.<\/p>\n
Finally, on Friday, 25 May, the Faculty of Philosophy (Hall F-006) will host the famous French sociologist and political thinker, Sylvain Lazarus, who will be holding a lecture titled \u201cThe Figure of the Worker and Politics in France: 1968-2018\u201d. In his Rijeka lecture, Lazarus will address the state of French workers and factories in 1968, the legacy of \u201868 and the extent to which it is possible to draw conclusions about political experiences in that revolutionary year. The lecture will be moderated by Prof. Ozren Pupovac.<\/p>\n
