The list of ŠKART’s activities includes writing, designing, and printing books, notebooks, posters, flyers, boxes, and other paper and cardboard products. Their posters included a series dedicated to idiosyncratic individuals who had not adapted to their immediate or broader social environments. A friend who decided not to attend a school graduation and decided to “graduate alone”, or similar personal stories about “small gestures” of rejecting dominant routines and discourses and instead finding alternatives. They also produced posters informing the public about “small heroes” of civil society who found themselves put under pressure by authorities: radio presenters cut off from broadcasting, newspaper sellers accused of distributing independent journals, etc. B.D.
