The country of Yugoslavia may no longer appear on any physical maps, but it remains on many people’s mental maps; though Yugoslavia may be dead forever as a political entity, it lives on as a cultural project.

Yugoslavia's material and cultural production inspires many people to make art and products. And a lot of them have little or even no lived experience in or memory of it.

These are their stories.

Part 3 of many: Partisans.

With Daniel Skoric (Comrade Commando), Darko Nikolovski (Join the Partisans) and Ana Radovcich (Unuka Partizana). Featuring music by Nikolovski.

A barren island in the Adriatic Sea was between 1949 and 1956 the site of an internment camp where Tito's regime sent its opponents for "re-education." At Goli Otok, the newly minted anti-Stalinists were fighting Stalinists with Stalinist methods. How did the prison and labor camp at Naked Island come about and what happened there? How do people remember and commemorate this dark stain in Yugoslavia's history?

With Tiha Gudac. Featuring songs titled "Goli Otok" by Ratsmagick, Valter i Perspektiva, and Voyvoda.
