ABOUT THE AUTHORS:

Minipogon Collective was formed in 2017 with the aim of offering practical solutions for pressing social issues – on the one hand, the social and economic inequality apparent in the “refugee crisis”, and, on the other, the climate disaster caused by capitalist processes of production and the consumer culture as their consequence. Throughout 2018 and 2019, Minipogon’s workstation was located in the Krnjača refugee camp, along with the experimental manufacturing plant for processing of discarded plastics. The plant consisted of machines built by the members of the collective, while the workshop was equipped with all the tools required to work different materials (metal, wood, plastics, etc.). The camp residents participated in the manufacturing of designed products that would fetch high market prices, which in turn enabled fair remuneration for everyone involved in the process of production, along with many other exchanges and social activities. Minipogon is currently working on a similar partnership in the form of extracurricular activities at the Bogdan Šuput High School in Novi Sad, in cooperation with kuda.org.
Group members: Vahida Ramujkić, Tijana Cvetković, Danilo Prnjat, Chow Sing Tai
