Identity: The Collapse of Yugoslavia

In this third episode of The Identity Series, we deepen our
investigation into fractured national identity across Europe,
through one of its most contemporary and violent examples: the
collapse of Yugoslavia and subsequent wars that ripped across the
former country.


Hosted by Josephine Burton, a range of artists and historians
discuss the tensions leading up to the collapse and its
heartbreaking aftermath. Together, we explore how this shaped the
artists born out of it and changed the artistic output of a
nation, what Yugoslavia meant to its artists and how that spirit
endures today. 


Speakers include Milena Dragićević Šešić;
professor of cultural policy and cultural management and former
president of the University of Arts, Belgrade; Alma
Ferovic Fazlic, a Bosnian singer and music producer;
Maja Milatovic-Ovadia, a theatre director from
former Yugoslavia and PhD researcher on devised comedy theatre in
the context of post-war reconciliation; and Albanian-born
Rigels Hallili, a lecturer in modern history and
Balkans culture at Warsaw University's Centre for East European
Studies.
