The exhibition is the result of a weekly workshop that brought together students of Academy of Fine Arts, Zagreb and London Metropolitan University, London. The project has also included each group of students preparing packs of written material, images, articles, quotes, sketches, etc. that have informed their own practice. These packs of information were then sent to the other side prior to the meeting in Zagreb.
The themes of the project are not specifically set, although they develop around the relations of the city to its known and hidden ‘stories’, the relation of fact and fiction in the construction of its narrative and the articulation of its wider social meaning. The project Britacia is a continuation of the collaborative project initiated in 2005. with the intention of developing a long-term exchange.
Coordinators and menthors of the project: Ben Cain i Nicole Hewitt.
