DO YUGOSLAVS ONLY LISTEN TO HIP-HOP? Proposal for a postcolonial approach to museum practices in the post-Yugoslav space

Abstract

This paper discusses colonial and postcolonial studies, theories and practices, different approaches to these topics from the perspective of colonizers and colonized, often called “others”, as well as the applicability of these discourses to the post-Yugoslav area, especially the period of Austro-Hungarian occupation and annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The paper discusses the possibilities of the need to change museum narratives and approaches in the study of the period of Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina through the prism of postcolonial theories. Also, the role of contemporary art as a means of decolonization is considered.
