Mireja Salares (Barcelona, 1973) is a visual artist who lives between Barcelona and other foreign cities, in which she carries out her long-term artistic research projects. Being a foreigner and collaborating with others is an essential register in her work. Her open methodology generates transdisciplinary works that gather a plurality of individual stories which refer to essential collective subjects like violence, death, sex, legality, truth, love or work, the aim being to question the univocity of the construction apparatus of the dominant discourse in our society. www.mireiasallares.com

Rad Vahide Ramujkić´s work is grounded in a social context and oriented towards the social purposefulness of art. She has initiated and collaborated in numerous projects based on collaborative and creative work as an impeller for establishing new social relations. In the period between 2001 and 2007, the main corpus of her work, dealing with orientation in the rapid neoliberal transformations of Barcelona, was realized through the Rotorrr collective (PobleNow Expeditions, PN*Safaris, Manuals for Ground, Water and Air, etc.). Her personal experience and exhaustive research into legislative procedures for foreigners in the EU are compiled in the book Schengen with Ease (2006). In 2007 she initiated a library of history textbooks entitled Disputed Histories – on the basis of which she has developed a methodological approach to dealing collaboratively with the phenomenon of historical revisionism typical of the countries of the former Yugoslavia and other post-socialist societies. In 2008 (with A. Kruglanski), she initiated the long-term project Documentary Embroidery, which is also a technique for collective self-representation of complex social realities (realized in over 15 locations worldwide). Minipogon [Minidrive] is an ongoing collaborative endeavour aiming to mark a path for countering the capitalist organization of work.
