    The K67 Kiosk is a symbol of Yugoslavia.

    Inspired by Yugoslavia #4: Designers (Mostly)

    Inspired by Yugoslavia #4: Designers (Mostly)

    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 4 of many: Designers (mostly).

    With Tadej Anclin (3D monuments), Claire Condon (Yugopaperniks), and Dejan Medojević (Dejoslavija), and contributions by Mikal Ahmed and Igor Riđanović / Tito AI Chatbot. Featuring music by Detective Spook.
