Lost Highway Expedition

Lose yourself in the Balkans - find yourself in Europe.

30 July 2006 - 24 August 2006 Centrala Foundation for Future Cities and School of Missing Studies would like to invite you to participate in Lost Highway Expedition, a massive movement of individuals that will pass through Ljubljana, Zagreb, Novi Sad, Belgrade, Skopje, Pristina, Tirana, Podgorica and Sarajevo,

Lost Highway Expedition (LHE) is about constructing and experiencing an experimental network-based civic society that navigates the new and dynamic territorialities of the Western Balkans and explores new modes of linking its different entities. While on the road, Lost Highway Expedition will travel around the future of the Western Balkans and European Union and produce projects about:

a) borders as creative spaces,
b) citizenship and negotiation of citizens rights,
c) interactions between vertical authority and bottom-up initiatives,
d) architectural inventions coming from transition,
e) spatial instruments for new socio-political negotiations,
f) parallel systems which exist in the Western Balkans and European Union,
g) emerging networks between the cities in the Western Balkans,
h) other missing studies.

At each city along the route, Lost Highway Expedition will interact with the projects of local organizations and groups about the issues they find relevant for the future of their own contexts. In tandem with a wide international network, participating local organizations so far include: KUC (Ljubljana); Mama, Platforma 9.81, WHW (Zagreb), Kuda.org (Novi Sad), Prelomkolektiv (Belgrade), Belgrade SMS, Missing Identity (Kosovo), Press to Exit(Skopje) and Pro.ba (Sarajevo), and more participants will be added to this preliminary network. By blurring the boundaries between the roles of host and guest, LHE aims to examine and negotiate emerging territorial concepts and societal networks in the Western Balkans and their implications for the future of the European Union.
