ARTMargins Online Publishes Special Issue on Feminist Artistic Organizing in Post-Yugoslav Region

ARTMargins Online has released a special issue examining feminist artistic organizing in the post-Yugoslav region, edited by Biljana Purić. The publication explores how Edvard Kardelj's ideological framework for Yugoslavia's workers' self-management system established the conceptual foundation for artists' societal roles. Kardelj's writings promoted class solidarity and equal valuation of intellectual and physical labor. This ideological approach inspired numerous initiatives, including an art program at the Ironworks complex in Sisak, Croatia, where workers and artists collaborated creatively. The special issue appears as part of ARTMargins Online's ongoing coverage, accessible through its website with content tagged under Adela Jušić. The analysis connects historical Yugoslav political theory with contemporary feminist artistic practices across the region that emerged after Yugoslavia's dissolution.
