The K67 Kiosk is a symbol of Yugoslavia. Once ubiquitous in its thousands, only a few hundred units remain around the former country, many in various state of disrepair, and a handful of others around the world. But particularly over the past decade, the Kiosk has been experiencing a revival of sorts. It nowadays inspires educators, artists, designers, and others in their work.

The country of Yugoslavia may no longer appear on any physical maps, but it remains on many people’s mental maps; though Yugoslavia may be dead forever as a political entity, it lives on as a cultural project.

Yugoslavia's material and cultural production inspires many people to make art and products. And a lot of them have little or even no lived experience in or memory of it.

These are their stories.

Part 4 of many: Designers (mostly).

With Tadej Anclin (3D monuments), Claire Condon (Yugopaperniks), and Dejan Medojević (Dejoslavija), and contributions by Mikal Ahmed and Igor Riđanović / Tito AI Chatbot. Featuring music by Detective Spook.
