Enthusiasts around MIKSER, ready to share their own joyful experience of Bollywood, started to spread the word about organizing an Indian Film Festival in Belgrade at the beginning of the year. They were wondering around the city with eyes filled with flowers; sparkling film lights started following them as a pink line crossing all major squares, hidden Belgrade cafes and different apartments where the program of the festival was talked about as if it were a major battle strategy. Telephones of MIKSERs went hot, mails were running along the India-London-Belgrade track and at the end of May, everything was ready for Belgrade to share the Bollywood dream.

Objects Of Desire - Adrian Forty's Lecture

25 -28 October 2002

Belgrade School Of Architecture
Museum Of Contemporary Art, Belgrade

Mikser was thrilled to organize the Belgrade visit of world renowned architectural historian, Adrian Forty. Design, according to Forty, encompasses not just how things look, but how they are made and marketed as well. In a very readable and well-illustrated book, Forty shows how design reflects and changes culture. His fascinating historical accounts show how modern consumer society developed.
