The Smuggling Anthologies project, held from 2013 to 2015 on the "interstitial territory" of three European countries (Croatia, Slovenia and Italy) was carried out by leading institutions: the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rijeka, Croatia; the Municipal Museum in Idrija, Slovenia; and Trieste Contemporanea in Trieste, Italy. The topic of the two-year project was a critical historical connection between them—smuggling. The program consisted of three exhibitions with accompanying symposia and related activities successively in three cities: contemporary visual art, history, ethnology, urbanism, literature and media theory overlapped in the project, which provided exhibitions, lectures, artist talks, screenings, presentations, projects, performances and research.
The Smuggling Anthologies Reader, produced after a two-year project crosses boundaries of different disciplines in three modes: documentary, fictional and theoretical.
