    LETʼS TALK THE EXHIBITION: When Politics Strategised Aesthetics – Online conversations in English with Marta Radman, Yevheniia Havrylenko & guests

    Three-part Instagram Live conversation series in English on the occasion of the exhibition When Politics Strategised Aesthetics – Works from the National Museum of Modern Art Zagreb 1945–1960

    About the series

    Exhibitions are not only about works of art. They are also about the conditions in which the works were created, the spaces in which they are presented, and the dialogues generated through these constellations.

    We decided to make public some of our team’s internal dialogues prompted by the current exhibition When Politics Strategised Aesthetics at Kunsthaus Dahlem, expanding them together with invited guests.

    Episode 1

    25 May, 6:30pm CEST
    Postwar Yugoslavia: Political Ambivalence and Cultural Productivity
    with Marta Radman and Yevheniia Havrylenko

    The conversation will focus on the political and cultural conditions that shaped the artistic field in former Yugoslavia during the early decades of Josip Broz Tito’s rule.

    Following the break with Stalin in 1948, Yugoslavia developed a specific socialist model positioned between East and West, one that opened space for international exchange, modernisation and new artistic tendencies, while remaining marked by political contradictions.

    Together, we will discuss how artistic experimentation developed within this context, how culture became part of Yugoslavia’s international self-representation, and why the relationship between art and politics in postwar Yugoslavia cannot be reduced to a simple narrative of either freedom or control.
