„Četiri vode” je nezavisno domaćinstvo, sastajalište, i utočište za ljude kojima je potreban prostor za odmor, eksperiment, promišljanje i igru. Putem različitih kolektivnih aktivnosti na selu – umetničkih, pedagoških i organizacionih, izgradnje, zanatstva, i saradnje sa lokalnom zajednicom – negujemo ljubav prema zemlji i naše kapacitete za zajedništvo. 🌿☀️🌿 Four Waters is an independent household, a meeting point and a refuge for people in need for rest, play, and study through experimentation and action. Through diverse collective rural activities- artistic, pedagogical and organizing, building, craft, and collaboration with the local community we nurture love for the land and our capacities for giving and receiving.

Mentorship Course Open Call 🌱 For the past two + years, I’ve been holding one-on-one mentoring space for peers art practitioners, cultural workers, and activists. The common thread that emerged from our conversations was the need for sensible ways to sustain our callings, livelihoods, and integrity. Our collective compass is pointing to a growing need to build alternatives for our communities, deconstruct oppressive and punitive relations normalized by extractivist (art) systems. These experiences moved me to offer my first mentorship course titled, Art as Social Fiber. Art as Social Fiber is a five-week online mentorship and peer-to-peer program designed to support artists, curators, and educators moving through creative, institutional, and political crises. Across five sessions, participants will engage with a range of critical and creative tools—drawing from artistic research, curatorial thinking, and collective organizing. You are invited to bring your ongoing work, questions, and urgencies into the space: to share what drives you, to map obstacles and hesitations, and to experiment with strategies for moving through them. Deadline to apply is May 2nd (late submissions fine:). The course starts on Thursday May 7th. Limited to 10 participants as workshops are participatory. 🌱Application form in bio. Includes info about the course and sliding scale fee. Happy Labor Day! Images: 2024 @heklerke @4_vode summer school: strategies of withdrawal; dandelion field at Dvorište

Zajedništvo danas često ostaje ideja kojoj se vraćamo tek kada nam zatreba oslonac. U praksi, ono se gradi kroz odluku da se prostor, vreme i odgovornost dele sa drugima. Tim koji stoji iza Četiri vode pokazuje da takav izbor nije lak ali jeste moguć. Četiri vode podsećaju da promena počinje onda kada odlučimo da živimo drugačije zajedno. Održavanje događaja i kampanju Bring the noize podržali su The Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation (@kvinnatillkvinna ) i UK International Development, kao i Equality Fund (@equalityfund ), Global Fund for Women (@globalfundwomen ) i OAK fondacija.

Na vrhu brda u Selu Lubanje postoji prostor koji redefiniše način na koji mislimo zajedništvo. Kuća Četiri vode ne postoji kao utočište od sveta već mesto u kome svi mogu ponovo naučiti važnost poverenja u zajednici. Nezavisno domaćinstvo Četiri vode pokazuje da je drugačiji način života moguć kada se ljudi okupe oko zajedničkih vrednosti. Ovogodišnje priznanje za novu nadu u praktikovanju radikalne kolektivne brige dodelile smo domaćinstvu Četiri vode.

Ovogodišnja osmomartovska nedelja je bila posebna. U sve destruktivnijim realnostima u kojima živimo lako nas preuzima osećaj letargije, cinizma i nemoći. Zato je važno da svesno usmeravamo fokus ka onima koji nas inspirišu, predanim, velikodušnim i hrabrim ljudima u borbi za dostojanstven život i budućnost. Takva je bila prostorija punog CZKD-a u toku @befem.feministicki.centar dodele priznanja “Bring the Noise” , koncentracija nuklearne energije kros-generacijskih društvenih borbi, prava na istinu i feminističke solidarnosti. Osećamo veliku čast i zahvalnost prema svima u organizaciji i prisutnima, naročito @_feminist_killjoy_ i @dzenet.koko na divnom gostoprimstvu. “Četiri vode” su dobile priznanje za “Nove nade u praktikovanju radikalne brige” , a izložba “slo(žena) priča” koje su realizovale umetnice @deadzankovic @sanjasolunac @jprljevic @ivana.performanceart priznanje za “Feminističku snagu u umetnosti” Dodatno hvala kolektivu @zaslobodnupalestinu koji skoro tri godine hrabro drži vatru osvetljavajući put u borbi protiv genocida u Gazi. Putem prijateljstava, kulturno-umetničkih događaja, akcija kolektiv podržava borbu za dekolonizaciju Palestine i protiv militarizacije zahtevajući transparentnost i odgovornosti naših institucija koje sarađuju sa Izraelom i time omogućavaju genocid. Hvala @8.mart.svaki.dan i svim učesnicama i učesnicima na organizaciji sve borbenijeg marša 🌱 Nijedna od nas neće biti slobodna dok sve nismo slobodne! ❤️‍🔥 English in comments.

Pažnja! Pažnja! Svako ko je imao dodira sa 4 vode upoznao je Miloša Bojovića, našeg druga, saborca, umetnika i pre svega divnog čoveka. Većina fotografija i video zapisa iz 4 vode arhive su rezultat njegovog prisustva i zabeleške. Kao što vidite izrazito je talentovan i profesionalan. Mnogo se radujemo što se odlučio da pokrene ŽTMRLJ putem koje ga možete kontaktirati za fotografske projekte svih vrsta. Nada se dugoročnim, uzbudljivim saradnjama estetski i etički bliskim. Ako imate ideje i potrebe za saradnjom pišite Milošu u DM, a pre svega zapratite @mesecme / 👁️ ŽTMRLJ je skraćenica od žuta mrlja. U srpskom jeziku, ovaj termin povezuje deo mrežnječe oka zadužen za formiranje centralnog dela slike, razlikovanje detalja, boja i oštrinu onoga što vidimo i vrstu foto aparata sa daljinomerom (rangefinder). * Anyone who had contact with 4 waters has met Miloš Bojović, our friend, comrade, artist and, above all, a wonderful person. Most of the photos and videos from the 4 Water Archives are the evidence of his presence. As you can see, he is extremely talented and professional. We are very happy that he decided to initiate ŽTMRLJ through which you can contact him for photography projects of all kinds. He hopes for long-term, exciting collaborations that are aesthetically and ethically aligned. If you have ideas and need a great collaborator, write to Miloš in DM, and above all follow @mesecme 👁️ ŽTMRLJ is short for Žuta mrlja - yellow spot. In the Serbian language, this term stands for the part of the retina responsible for forming the central part of the image, distinguishing details, colors and sharpness of what we see and the type of photo camera with a rangefinder. /

I’m deeply grateful to the sisters Prljević who made my time at @4_vode special and meaningful. Beyond writing the project, I witnessed what solidarity looks like in practice, learned so much about the working-class history of Užice, slava customs, and about the constant, yet often invisible, physical and emotional labor required to sustain a community. In a world torn apart by ecological and social crises, it gives me hope to know that environments where care, nurture, creativity, and collective practices remain central still exist. Of course, none of this would have been possible without Luna, Lajka, Loki, and Srećka, who bring so much joy and make Four Waters feel complete. To close my stay, @jprljevic , @milojkaprljevic , and I shared a special moment planting a walnut tree in memory of baba Ljubica - Ljuba, who sadly passed away during my time at the Four Waters. May its presence remind future generations of the strength, love, and resilient spirit that she embodied. - Brankica @brrran ❤️ 📸 @brrran @jprljevic @prljevic Prevod u komentaru

In August last year, I spent some time at the Four Waters Residency, a place created by the sisters Prljević and their family. During the residency, I began developing a research project that explores memory and gesture embedded in everyday clothes and objects. This process has led me to revisit intimate family narratives, exploring how garments that no longer exist continue to shape memory,  longing, and intergenerational connection.   A few glimpses from a hot, late afternoon when Milojka opened her closet and let us play with her clothes. Together, we walked down memory lane, exploring the stories, emotions, and symbolic meanings that garments carry across years and generations. Brankica Sanadrović (@brrran ) studied at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and currently lives and works in Paris. She works across costume, set, and fashion design. Her practice engages with ceremonies and rituals, exploring liminal spaces between everyday life and utopia and ideas of collective renewal. 📸 @brrran @jprljevic @prljevic 🎶 Bebi Dol - Zmaj Prevod u komentaru.

U duhu zajedništva i utopijskog promišljanja budućnosti praktikujemo kolektivnu sadnju biljaka u okviru našeg domaćinstva. Ovaj put su to bili beli borovi. Svi smo posadili po jedno drvo koje će nas čekati do sledećeg susreta. Foto: Miloš Bojović Video: Miloš Bojović i Jelena Prljević Ovo okupljanje su podržali Rekonstrukcija Ženski Fond i Urgent Action Fund. 🌱💫🌱 In the spirit of community and utopian imagining of the future, we practice collective planting within our household. This time it we planted white pines. Each person planted a tree that will wait for us until the next meeting. This gathering was supported by Reconstruction Women's Fund and Urgent Action Fund.

Srećka nadgleda radove. Održavanje domaćinstva je velika odgovornost i uvek lakša kada se deli, a posebno ispunjavajuća kada se pretvori u kolektivnu avanturu. Puno nam je značila pomoć u krčenju zarasle međe. Već dugo ograničeni vidik dobio je novu širinu. Drugarice su uz mentorstvo @nikolijaprljevic spremile najukusniji ajvar! Drugarstvo pomera međe. ☺️💞 Srećka supervises the works. Keeping a household is a big responsibility and always easier when shared, and especially fulfilling when it turns into a collective adventure. Help in clearing the overgrown border meant a lot to us. The vision, which has been limited for a long time, gained a new horizon. With the mentorship of @nikolijaprljevic , girlfriends prepared the most delicious ajvar! Friendship abolishes borders. ☺️💞 📸 Miloš Bojović @mesecme

Od srca se zahvaljujemo reditelju filma "El Shatt-nacrt za utopiju", Ivanu Ramljaku, na velikodušnosti što nam je učinio ovaj višestruko nagrađivani film dostupnim i što nam se pridružio u nedelju 19. oktobra putem Zoom-a, podelio svoja iskustva, namere, izazove, tuge i radosti utkane u proces snimanja filma. Takođe se zahvaljujemo Milošu Bojoviću na čiju inicijativu smo imale-i ovo iskustvo. * O filmu "El Shatt-nacrt za utopiju" - Stotine promrzlih i izgladnelih ljudi pluta na brodovima usred Mediterana bežeći od rata. Scene koje u poslednje vreme viđamo na vestima – ali godina je 1944. i izbeglice beže iz Evrope u Afriku. Nakon kapitulacije Italije, a pre dolaska nemačke vojske, Tito je uz pomoć Saveznika odlučio da evakuše 28,000 stanovnika Dalmacije u Egipat, gde su dve godine živeli pod šatorima usred pustinje, u svojevrsnom komunističkom model-naselju koje je trebalo da pokaže Zapadu kako će izgledati nova Jugoslavija kada se završi rat. Ovo je priča o njima. Ivan Ramljak (1974, Hrvatska) je reditelj, filmski kritičar i nezavisni kustos. Godine 2003. osnovao je Festival filma o ljudskim pravima u Zagrebu. Od 2013. godine kustosira filmski program Kratki utorak u kinu Tuškanac u Zagrebu. Od 2016. godine umetnički je direktor Filmskog festivala Tabor, najstarijeg festivala kratkog filma u Hrvatskoj. Do sada je režirao jedanaest filmova – četiri igrana, pet dokumentarnih i dva eksperimentalna filma. Njegovi filmovi prikazani su na više od 80 međunarodnih festivala širom svieta (uključujući IFFR, Cinéma du Réel, Dok Leipzig) i osvojili su nekoliko nagrada. Ivan je član selekcione komisije IFFR-a za kratke filmove i služi kao skaut za filmove iz bivših jugoslovenskih zemalja.
