About us
The Museum of Popular and Subcultures is a non-governmental organization founded in 2020 in Belgrade with the aim of working in the field of popular and subcultures, encouraging creative education and critical thinking in the field of popular and subcultures through exhibitions, workshops, projects, programs and all animation, creative and related activities. The activity of the museum is also reflected in the creation of a creative and stimulating atmosphere for overcoming prejudices towards/ or between popular and subcultures, as well as encouraging cooperation and production of works of art and creative works. The museum seeks to open a creative and research space for the work of cultural experts (culturologists, cultural sociologists, cultural anthropologists, communicators, andragogues, contemporary art theorists and experts in related professions) and thus raise awareness of the importance of these professions, which are honestly insufficient represented in society.
Camping the trash out is a pilot project of the organization which, through these goals, seeks to open space for diverse and creative discussion and creativity within the theme of camp style and phenomena.
The project is supported by the Prince Claus Fund / Next Generation 2020.
What can I expect while working on the project?
The volunteer program of the Museum of Popular and Subcultures is a unique way for high school students and students with no experience (or with little experience) to acquire knowledge and skills in the areas that interest them. During the program, the volunteer has the right to choose the sector he is interested in and gain knowledge and experience in itthrough the support of young mentors. The sectors in which the volunteer gains experience are:
1.Project-programmatic - if you want to learn how projects are designed and run, as well as how cultural events are organized, become part of the project team. Create more interesting events, exhibitions, workshops and debates with us. 🖐
2.Communication-digital - if your passions are PR and (digital) marketing, as well as the organization of PR events, this is the right team for you. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with existing media partners and establish new partnerships.📢
3.Design and production- you want to strengthen your portfolio through different design specialties. Whether it's visual materials for social networks, for print, exhibition materials or online publications, this is the right team for you. 🦋
4.Financial and administrative - if you are someone who likes to keep everything under control, and not even the smallest number or word can escape you, this is the right team for you. If you like law, finance and administrative management, welcome! 👀🤗
The program usually lasts approx6 monthspart-time, but we are willing to agree on different arrangements according to the needs of the museum and the available time of the volunteer/mentor. After a successful volunteer engagement, the museum releasesconfirmation of cooperation, providesfeedbackvolunteer, and the volunteer becomes a memberMuseum Associates Club, and acquires the right to practice certificates and letters of recommendation from the museum.
