For this edition of FUTURES, we've nominated four emerging Croatian visual artists: Ivan Buvinić, Matej Jurčević, Lara Varat and Lucija Bogunović. They represent a new generation of makers, all of whom have recently finished their studies in photography and new media. We believe their work approaches a series of relevant themes - themes that reflect important talking points in our social and cultural context.
