Yugoslav Cultural Diplomacy and the Non-aligned Movement

The lecture was focused on the character, modalities and intensity of Yugoslav cultural exchange with the non-aligned countries through the course of the 1960s and 1970s. Based on the on-going research in the archives of the former socialist State's institutions, it will describe the format and content of the cultural programs implemented in numerous African, Asian and the Latin American countries and explain the strategic utilisation of international organisations (UNESCO, UNICEF) in fostering international visibility of 'Yugoslav-brand socialism'. We shall also discuss the range of art and documentary exhibitions used to bring the cultures of the non-aligned countries to the close attention of Yugoslav citizens, as well as a few unique 'institutional' traces that cultural exchange programs have left within the South-East European geo-political space.
