Critical Tourism 1: Focus the Adriatic

Collaborative platform Critical Tourism 1: Focus the Adriatic for critical tourism, made up of Apoteka / Pharmacy – Space for Contemporary Art, Vodnjan, Grey Area – space for media and contemporary art, Korcula and Placa, Dubrovnik – research-based space collective is focused on modelling interdisciplinary critical discourse that raises the burning issue of tourism’s nanoeconomics in Croatia, and its implications for cultural, social and spatial development.

The public presentation of the platform in Dubrovnik and Korcula is a three-day program that presents artistic re-presentations and critical interpretations of the topic, appropriating the classic tour-guided model and using it as a tool to comment and critique dominant socio-cultural and political-economic practices. emphasizing on and pointing towards the ethics, poetics, and policies of space, as well as the necessity of resistance.

Conceived as a pilot project, the collaborative platform Critical Tourism 1: Focus the Adriatic has the ambition to transversely connect parts of (Adriatic) Croatia. The partnership is based on the joint design of programs, the exchange of experiences and ideas in the field of critical tourism, as a discourse, but also the possibility of developing alternative practices, and testing these ideas within the local communities in which the organizations operate.
