Museum of Yugoslavia calls for tomorrow's celebration Days of youth which does not exist, but is not forgotten.
It was celebrated on May 25 in Yugoslavia from 1945 to 1987, from Triglav to Vardar, on the birthday of Josip Broz Tito. It was a national holiday with many events, landings and a final ceremony in Belgrade at the JNA stadium, where Tito would be handed the Relay of Youth, which had been carried throughout Yugoslavia for several months by then.
Today, the Museum of Yugoslavia invites us to "celebrate Youth Day and remember why it used to be a "holiday of the youth of our entire country", and today it is an occasion to socialize in the Museum of Yugoslavia and thereby give new meaning to the cultural heritage we inherit".
The visitors will be welcomed in the Museum Park at 17 p.m. by members of the self-organized choir and orchestra of the Horkestra, DJ Peđa Radović will take over the stage with a unique set of tracks that will take us through decades of youth culture and the ways in which it was articulated musically, with an emphasis on how today's youth use the musical heritage of Yugoslavia when trying to express their fighting voice. The program will be closed by the choreographic installation Holopartisan with four human and four hologram dancers, inspired by memories of stories and myths about female partisans.
The program is, of course, free.
The Youth Day celebration was extinguished in the same way as Yugoslavia was extinguished. It is believed that the problem is not in his youth, but in Tito, who, after the breakup, the former members of Yugoslavia wanted to forget as soon as possible. Apart from the informal statements of public figures, there were no proposals to establish Youth Day again later.
The Museum of Yugoslavia says that the party on May 25 will be the beginning of their eighth Summer at the Museum, and they expect a traditionally large visit.
