Toward a Concrete Utopia: Learning from Yugoslavia | MoMA LIVE

In conjunction with Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948–1980, this evening's discussion expands on three issues central to the exhibition: common history, collective civic space, and community building. Beti Žerovc, Associate Professor, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, addresses common history; Branislav Dimitrijević, Professor of History and Theory of Art, College of Art and Design, Belgrade, discusses the idea of collective civic space; and Ana Džokić and Marc Neelen of STEALTH.unlimited address community building. Following the presentations, Zagreb-based architect, critic, and curator Maroje Mrduljaš moderates a roundtable discussion on how Yugoslavia’s architectural legacy can be seen as a model to produce better architecture and more equitable cities today. Exhibition co-organizers Vladimir Kulić and Martino Stierli introduce the program.
