Postsocialist Art Centre (PACT)

The Postsocialist Art Centre (PACT) is dedicated to the study of the art and visual culture of socialism and postsocialism from a global perspective. PACT leads research into the distinctive art practices, movements, circuits, systems and structures that flourished in socialist states for much of the twentieth century in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, as well as across Asia, Africa and Latin America. Through research projects, international networks, curatorial activities, artistic collaborations, teaching and supervision, public lectures and events, as well as podcasts and blogs, the centre illuminates the art and visual culture of socialism and postsocialism from a diversity of historical, contemporary, comparative, global, horizontal and environmental perspectives.
