FLUID Expo / Ilustress Collective: NATIONAL SPACE PROGRAM
Our exhibition “National Space Program” was presented as part of the 12th edition of the FLUID Design Forum. While FLUID took place across multiple venues, our show was hosted at the Cultural Center of the Old Royal Capital Cetinje, opening on April 19, 2024, and running until May 8, 2024. The exhibition centers on our eponymous fanzine, which is the third title we have produced as a collective.
The first version of this exhibition was organized on October 27, 2023, at the Gallery of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Montenegro in Podgorica.
When working on this edition, we set the main theme in advance, but without enforcing a single concept or narrative to connect all the works. This open approach allowed each of us to respond in our own way — from more classical forms of illustration, comics, and caricature to experimental graphics, video, and animation that step beyond traditional illustration.
The fanzine and accompanying graphics were printed by the Matrijaršija collective from Belgrade, whose collaboration we deeply value.
We are grateful to the FLUID Design Forum, FLUX Design Network, and the Old Royal Capital Cetinje for giving us the opportunity to present this exhibition. Photos: Krsto Vulović
