Bodies, architecture, and ideas age differently while passing together through time. Sonja Vukićević (73), a dancer and choreographer from Belgrade, is known for her anti-Milošević activism and her monumental solo at the final Youth Day celebration in Yugoslavia in 1988—just before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the beginning of Yugoslav wars. In a gymnastic hall in New Belgrade, a district emblematic of the utopian architecture of socialist modernism, Sonja trains her resilient, aging body—a body as an archive.
