Slumbering Concrete - Season 2 Episode 2 Vehicles of Emancipation
9.50 50 minutes The second episode, "Vehicles of Emancipation," covers architecture that became an important instrument of the post-war reconstruction and the cultural centers and workers’ educational centers in former Yugoslavia that were built for the purpose of the socialist emancipation of man. They unified education, culture, entertainment, sports and political life and brought new architecture and lifestyle to their environments. We cover four of these “social condensers” – Cultural Centre in the small village of Konjic in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Memorial Center in Kolašin, the House of the Revolution in Nikšić, and Ivan Vitić’s Cultural Center on the island of Vis. Is their continued survival possible or will they remain just as a symbol of great ambitions?
