Railway station from another perspective - audio tour 

Bojan Mucko, Romana Pozniak

This ethnographic walk, instructed by an audio narration, is designed to introduce participants to migration movements in/through Croatia, focusing on the zone of public space gravitating around the Main Railway Station in Zagreb and the space of everyday life of people on the move. It relates particularly to the period of flexibilization of transit from mid-2022 to mid-2023 which has occurred after years of intensive police violence. Audio-tour was created on the basis of field notes of researchers gathered by the project European Irregularized Migration Regime at the Periphery of the EU: from Ethnography to Keywords (ERIM). Historical, observational-interpretive and phenomenological perspectives are intertwined in a multi-layered narrative. It is conceptualized in the same time as a form of presentation of the research insights and as a tool for independent ethnographic research of public space.

The tour has two connected parts; first part starts at the location 1 – plateau in front of the post office at the main railway station (Glavni kolodvor), right next to the steam engine "Crna Katica".

Second part starts at location 2 – Trg kralja Tomislava, around the monument of King Tomislav on the horse (one-minute walk from the first location).

There is an audio track designed for each part/location which enables individualized or group walk, instructed by an audio narration, without physical presence of the tour guide.     

Attached bellow you can find two audio files and a tour hand out with instructions.  We kindly ask you to download the files on your phones, or you can open them directly from the attachment.

Please bring and use headphones.
