Yugoslavia pursued its own socialist path in the realm of culture, too, exporting its production to the Global South to showcase its progress. Though the Nonaligned Movement lacked a policy on culture, cultural cooperation was part and parcel of decolonization and peaceful coexistence. In the process, a global network of cultural exchanges and a distinct version of modernism developed.

With Bojana Piškur and Ljiljana Kolešnik. Featuring music by Baligh Hamdi and Koudede, courtesy of Sublime Frequencies.

Self-management was at the core of the identity of Yugoslav socialism and its best export. It was an outgrowth of nonalignment, the domestic expression of Yugoslavia's aspirations to play a global role and differentiate itself from the two power blocs. Yugoslavia’s nonalignment would not have been possible without self-management and Yugoslavia's self-management would not have been possible without nonalignment.

With Goran Musić, Ljubica Spaskovska, and Želimir Anić. Featuring music by Five Revolutions, Groupe Amnar awal Libya, and Kemal Monteno.

Decolonization was a goal of the Nonaligned Movement as a prerequisite for peaceful coexistence; the Movement supported liberation movements and organizations in Africa and Asia. Throughout its post-WWII existence, Yugoslavia provided all forms of aid and assistance to the "peoples who conduct just struggle for their national independence and liberation from imperialism, colonialism, and all other form of national oppression and submission."

A look at Yugoslavia’s support for decolonization and liberation movements in the Global South, with a particular focus on Palestine.
