Shared national memories act as a foundation for national identity, a unifying collective interpretation of history that can define what it means to belong in a certain place. Monuments loom even larger - define a national memory in concrete and stone, and you can help define your vision of the nation. That s why Nevena Katalina, a graphic design masters student at the University of Novi Sad in Serbia, has taken the famous abstract war memorials in the former Yugoslavia and translated them into posters, attempting to reconcile the imposing concrete forms with the impact they ve had on culture and memory in countries around the former Yugoslavia.

The typology of the cooperative centre emerged during the post-war reconstruction and modernisation process and was designed to serve the needs of the new cooperative agriculture model. In 1947, Yugoslavia launched an extensive program that saw the creation of thousands of cooperative centres across its territory within five years. In Slovenia, part of Yugoslavia until 1991, more than 300 cooperative centres were built. The Slovenian exhibition highlights this historical project and its implication, as well as the significance of the cooperative centre typology today.
