Speculative Poem Poetitecture - the Architecture of Earthostalgia Featured in Earthwriting zine By: @greenwaypublicart & @magdalenapoost Link in bio 🔗

Poem Hold my hand (excerpt) Hold my hand so I do not fly away from this world, from this planet, even dreams are vastly polluted with everyday news sipping in unapologetically and randomly without any pattern through the membrane of REM state destroying fragile lucid insights with its grim wordly heaviness. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Working on a new poem (only English version).

The poem I wrote is a part of billingual manuscript called (I) speak quietly on the threshold of audibility of others / Govori(m) tiho na pragu čujnosti drugoga, I am trying to work on these days. A collection of ecological, speculative and psychological poetry with astrophysical metaphors. It speaks about human and more than human world as a unity.

I have a namesake in plant world. May I introduce you to Milica (Gratiola) & Ljekovita (Gratiola Officinalis)? My plant twin sister. The poem I wrote is a part of billingual manuscript called (I) speak quietly on the threshold of audibility of others / Govori(m) tiho na pragu čujnosti drugoga, I am trying to work on these days.

Love Bites, edible installation, 2026 (ingredients: alginate, strawberry, beetroot, pomegranate) Speculative design work that combines the theme of menstrual blood as ingredient, future of food, impossible tastes and ancient folk love magic. Questions audience What is acceptable as a taste? What is considering discusting as a consumption practice now? Can that change? What could be new sources of food? The world where this artwork exists is a place where the food scarcity pushed humans to search for food resources inside they own bodies. After numerous experiments, they came to the solution of using menstrual blood clots as a source of nutriens. The blood has high levels of iron and antioxidants. But a side effect was discovered, if people drink the clot of another person they fall in love, something that was already described in local culture of love poison making. So a new ritual was made. You can take one sample. Choose a person of your interest. Read a chant in private corner. Give the bite to the person you choose. The chant: "One bite to fall in love, second bite to calm the guts / the cramps, third bite to improve the blood. Here comes the health to you inside. Here comes the love to your heart." Outcome of the Speculative design workshop Speculative Kitchens: A workshop on Tradicional Ecological Knowledge abd Speculative Design.

Documentation of the last year exhibition Dysmenorrhea Diaries: Opening ceremony (05.07. 2025.) Dysmenorrhea Diaries is a personal interdisciplinary artistic project about severe period pain. Throught the medium of poetry, photography, installation and participatory art, project gives a spotlight to complex experience of severe menstruation pain and opens space for dialogue about it. It's an intimate portrait about power of poetry and art combined with inner strenght, skills and hyperfocus in overcoming everyday difficulties.   The exhibition was an outcome of the 10 days Artist in Residence program organized by Prostor (Culture Hub Croatia) located in Split, curated by Jasmina Šarić.     At the same time it was a celebration of the Prostor (Culture Hub Croatia) 4th birthday. So as part of both events the Prostor team and me, mixed and served several red/orange colored cocktails & mocktails, to give the exhibition a lighter tone as counterbalance to the subject of pain. As a colourful taste of the enjoyment of life.  Production: Prostor @culturehubcroatia Photo: @lottofsocial

Izložba Skriveni grad Rad Sat Pomalo Produkcija: @kinoklubsplit Galerija Prostor @culturehubcroatia , Split Photo: Žaklina Pantonijević

Sat “Pomalo” Sat “Pomalo” je uradi sam projekt čija je tema lokalni pojam vremena “pomalo”. Što znači pomalo? Pomalo znači postepeno, korak po korak, malo po malo. Biti svjestan procesa. Biti strpljiv s njim. Također znači polako. Uspori malo. Daje prednost sporom ritmu. Uz sve to znači polako, opusti se. U ovom radu koristim koncept pomalo kao pojam o vremenu koji znači usporeno vrijeme, usporeni ritam, koji nije mehanički niti precizan.  Sat “Pomalo” napravljen je od plastičnih boca (objekata svakodnevne upotrebe), koje kasnije ako ne koristite sat, možete reciklirati. To je jednostavan objekt za interakciju. Svaki tip sata je ispunjen s različitim materijalima (vodom, uljem, tekućim sapunom) s različitim brzinama protoka. Promjer rupe kroz koju materija protiče ili curi, količina, vrsta i viskoznost materije utiču na brzinu protoka.  Protok ovisi od pažnje koju mi pridajemo, kao psihološkom filteru, u smislu proučavanja objekta ili interakcije sa njim. Nijedan od izloženih satova nije označen vremenskim intervalom potrebnim za protok materjala iz jednog dijela sata u drugi. Gledatelj je ostavljen bez jasnog repera za vrijeme, jer mu se ostavlja da pažnju usmjeri na psihološko vrijeme i momentum igre, kao distrakciju od mehaničkog tipa vrijemena.  Instalacija se sastoji se od 11 satova, vodenih i piješčanih, poredanih po brzini, s lijeva na desno, od najbržeg, označenog s Di je priša?, do najsporijeg, označenog sa Pomalo.  Rad Sat "Pomalo" je rezultat trećeg ciklusa radionica Skriveni grad u organizaciji Kino Kluba Split.

[IZLOŽBA] Izložbu Milice Denković "Dysmenorrhea Diaries" možete pogledati do 1. kolovoza, pon-pet 10-19h. "(...) Milica Denković preispituje poimanje boli kao osobno, nemjerljivo i nedjeljivo iskustvo, ali i bol kao žensko nasljeđe. Izložba se sastoji od tri međusobno povezana dijela, a prvi od njih predstavlja niz instalacija sastavljenih od raznoraznih, često nagomilanih predmeta, zajedno sačinjavajući prostor spavaće sobe. (...) Vlastito iskustvo dismenoreje i kroničnog kolitisa Milica Denković pretače u poeziju kao način suočavanja s boli, odnosno njeno kanaliziranje. Instalacije stoga nastaju mišlju kako opredmetiti poeziju. U “sobi” se tako nalaze četiri pjesme, od kojih se svaka vezuje uz određen(e) predmet(e). (...)" Foto: Glorija Lizde
