On Victory Day, Leja Jurišić and Miklavž Komelj read a dialogue between Capital and Revolution from Pasolini’s Stilna žival, echoing his closing verse: “And yet, this is a day of victory!” The event featured interventions by Darko Suvin (online), Boris A. Novak, Alice Pamuk, and Janez Kardelj, who also exhibited a painting. The interior was of course, designed by Petra Veber.
