ABSTRACT
Jasmina Tumbas explores how artists from former Yugoslavia during the 1970s and 1980s addressed questions self-sovereignty, violence, and feminism through experimental art forms. Tumbas questions the notion of authoritarian domination in the context of the artists’ aesthetic determinations, especially the use and development of performance art as a mode of opposition. She argues that such opposition was especially apparent in performance works that addressed questions of gender and sexuality to ensue an opening up of artistic, political and social discourses.
