It is run by the art space and community center District*School Without Center in collaboration with international curators, artists, cultural workers, researchers and activists. Since 2016, in collaboration with 25 curators, 69 artists and collectives, and numerous cultural practitioners, D’EST has published a total of soon-to-be 10 thematic video art chapters reflecting on the post-socialist transformation after 1989/91, which have been received in more than 30 screenings, events, exhibitions, publications, biennial and festival contributions, etc across Europe.
