Jugoplastika: Five Steps of Disappearance (Conversion-Privatization-Rehabilitation-Bankruptcy-Liquidation

In order to question the existence and demise of an important production line in Dalmatia, the OUR collective employed a field work methodology – an inspection of the current conditions and layers of memory subsequently articulated through a participatory form – a building block of the Jugoplastika. Jugoplastika – clothing, accessories, footwear, hard processing and packaging factory – was founded on November 23rd, 1952, by separating from the plastic factory Jugovinil. The development of Jugoplastika was executed in stages, changing its organizational structure as well as expanding the market for its goods up until the beginning of the 90s. At that time, it entered into a process of transformation which led to its demise, following a model which can be considered typical for that period: transformation-privatization-rehabilitation-bancruptcy-liquidation.
