Episode Details

Contemporary Art in the Post-Yugoslav Space explores the production, discussion, and consumption of contemporary art across the post-Yugoslav region. Bringing together 16 original contributions, the work explores how and why contemporary art discourses have continued to navigate the chronic difficulties facing local cultural economies since the dissolution of socialist Yugoslavia's common federal space. Framed by the concept of hauntology, the contributors foreground various "ghosts" of the Yugoslav past — from its anti-fascist and non-alignment legacies, to histories of queer and feminist movements and artistic activism — as a lens for examining the present state of affairs both regionally and globally.
