This initiative delves into the communication tactics of Yugoslav dictator Josip Broz Tito by utilizing archival newsreel footage, illustrating how he shaped his public persona.

This endeavor aligns with her ongoing exploration of archival research and political memory in the post-Yugoslav landscape, dismantling state propaganda to uncover power dynamics.
