This lecture will encompass the pivotal points of the ‘Yugoslav experiment’, which speaker Gal Kirm refers to as three partisan breakthroughs: the National Liberation War (NOB), the Non-Aligned Movement and self-management. He is keen to explore how these pivotal points, especially the NOB, have been attempted to be ‘remembered’, changed and continued in cultural and artistic productions. Has utopia shifted into the realm of culture? During his keynote, Kirn will take some productive examples of this legacy from the socialist era (political films by Želimir Žilnik, monuments of the revolution, etc) and some examples of how these legacies are approached today (gatherings, digital archives, the Women's Antifascist Front, memory activism).
