Cultural Exchanges within the Non-Aligned Movement:
A Former Yugoslav Perspective
Show more details
One of the recent additions to the UNESCO Memory of the World International Register are the archives of the First Summit Meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) that took place 62 years ago in Belgrade. During the Cold War, the Yugoslav cultural policy was built on a horizontal exchange with the Global Majority. The NAM states shared a common (cultural) colonial experience and straightened their collaborations on the ideas of Anti-imperialism and Anti-eurocentrism.
Cultural institutions of the post-Yugoslav states hold collections from the times or are directly initiated by/related to the NAM Movement. How were the collections conceived, how were the objects acquired? How did they reflect the official state policies then and what is the attitude towards the NAM heritage nowadays in the region (and beyond)?

Wer hat Angst vor dem Museum der Migration?
Show more details
Das Museum der Migration (MUSMIG) wird am 16.09.2023 im Rahmen der WIENWOCHE in der Aula der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien zum Leben erweckt. Begleitend dazu wird mit Mitarbeiter*innen zahlreicher Museen Wiens die Frage nach einem fehlenden realen Museum der Migration debattiert und das Verhältnis zu Themen wie Exil, Flucht, Asyl, Zwangs- und Gastarbeit in den bestehenden großen Häusern ausgelotet. Rassistische Ausschlussmechanismen sind mittlerweile für Museen und ihr Publikum zu einer zentralen Frage geworden, aber gibt es auch so etwas wie einen Antirassismus der Museen?
