Footnote – Center for Image and Text
Footnote – Center for Image and Text is an independent, artist-run space based in Belgrade, Serbia, dedicated to exploring the intersections of visual and literary practices. Conceived as a platform by artists, for artists, Footnote has grown into a vibrant cultural hub and a space for experimentation. It has hosted a wide array of programs including exhibitions, workshops, readings, book launches, performances, communal meals, auctions, and radio broadcasts—becoming a place where form and content continually evolve.
Through its interdisciplinary programming—spanning residencies, curated events, and publishing initiatives—Footnote fosters collaboration, critical dialogue, and artistic growth. Rooted in community and driven by curiosity, it plays an active role in shaping the contemporary cultural landscape in Serbia and beyond.
The center’s visual identity was created by Jelena Lugonja, featuring the typeface Faune, a beautifully curved serif designed by French type designer Alice Savoie for the Centre National des Arts Plastiques. Faune combines delicate, unexpected forms with the precision of contemporary digital type design, echoing Footnote’s spirit of subtle experimentation and interdisciplinary inquiry. It is paired with ABC Favorit and Avara.
