Alenka Puhar
To Dachau and return, and beyond
Slovene Painter Zoran Music's impressive drawings of his experiences in the Dachau Lager are among few artistic images from the death camps. Having been deported because of his anti-Nazi activities, he returned to Slovenia after the Liberation, just to find himself on the run again, being prosecuted by the new Yugoslavia's communist authorities. Slovene writer Alenka Puhar draws an illuminating picture of Music's eventful life and explains what happened to his drawings.
Núria Almirón
The culture and media industries and the economic and financial power
Núria Almiron sees transnational finance gaining power over the Spanish media landscape as a major challenge to both the stability of the media companies and to journalism itself. The effects of profit-driven decisions threaten the rights and freedoms of journalists as observed with reference to the Spanish media landscape.
Josep Lluís Gomez Mompart
From quality journalism to speculative journalism
For open, democratic societies, critical and informative journalism is vital: media innovation should lead to high quality journalism which fosters orientation in an increasingly complex world. But reality looks different: low-grade journalism invades the media landscape, simplifying and deforming our perception of events.
Julià Guillamon
An innovative literary exhibition
The exhibition "Literature from Exile" – on Catalan writers exiled as a result of the Spanish civil war – has been shown in Catalonia and various Latin American countries. Not only experimenting with new formats such as installations by artist Francesc Abad, the exhibition provided research on the meaning of exile and diaspora, as well as opening up for dialogue with other cultural realities.
