Sažetak
As we live through the 6th mass extinction and intensifying impacts of global warming, this contribution seeks to underscore the importance of art in fostering and cultivating imaginaries that challenge dominant Western narratives of exploitation. It proposes to revisit and analyse artworks from the past that were made from a very different experience of the world and have been overlooked in art history. Drawing on the works of Astrida Neimanis, Cecilia Chen, Bronwyn Bailey-Charteris, and others, the study focuses on art by Bogdanka Poznanović, Katalin Ladik, and Milica Mrđa that were all made on the Danube River during the era of socialist Yugoslavia. By approaching these works through contemporary lenses as per environmental humanities, the research aims to highlight some of the yet unarticulated aspects. Examining their strategies of collaborating with the river, it analyses the “aqueous imaginaries” (A. Neimanis) that they generated in the very early stages of the Anthropocene.
