The event is organized as an accompanying program to the exhibition "Archives, Sketches and Connections ~ Laboratory of the Art Collection of Non-Aligned Countries", which opened at the MSUCG Gallery.

An art historian and curator also participates in the program. Bojana Piškur, who will join the Laboratory team on this occasion.
"The lecture 'Yugoslavia and the Formation of the Non-Aligned Movement' examines the global context after World War II, marked by the division of the world into two opposing blocs. In contrast to this division, countries that were freeing themselves from colonial rule, with Yugoslavia as the only European state, developed the idea of non-alignment, which culminated in the founding of the Non-Aligned Movement in Belgrade in September 1961," the MSUCG statement states.
Luka Savčić is a research associate at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, where he is working on his dissertation "The Process of Decolonization and Yugoslav Revolutionary Internationalism (1958-1964)", under the mentorship of Prof. Dr. Dubravka Stojanović.
"His areas of interest include Yugoslavia in the Cold War, the theory of revolution in international relations, revolutionary internationalism, and Yugoslavia's relationship to anti-colonial movements in the Third World," the announcement states.
Bojana Piškur is a PhD and curator at the Modern Gallery / Museum of Contemporary Art in Ljubljana.
"Her professional interest is focused on the relationship between art and politics, with a particular focus on the post-Yugoslav space and transnational cultural practices. Central to her work is the long-term research and exhibition cycle "Southern Constellations: Poetics of Non-Aligned Movement", dedicated to the legacy of the Non-Aligned Movement and its contemporary artistic, political and aesthetic articulations," the statement says.
Admission to the program is free.
