On 9 April 2024, I presented my research project at the National Research and Study Institute (Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisa, INEP) in Bissau. In the talk, I focused on the relationship between Yugoslavia and the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) in the broader context of Yugoslav assistance to anti-colonial liberation movements. The presesentation particularly addressed the role of the memory and legacies of the People’s Liberation War in Yugoslav anti-colonial solidarity.
The talk was a part of the event on the connected history of Yugoslavia and Guinea-Bissau, where Sanja Horvatinčić from the Institute of Art History in Zagreb also presented her work on the Yugoslav architecture in Guinea-Bissau.
