- Title
Seeing the Futures Past, and Futures yet to Come: On the (Im)possibility of Reading the Promises of Liberation from the Visual Archive of the Non-Aligned Movement in the Aftermath of the Yugoslav Socialism.

- Abstract
By comparing the dominant media and academic readings of the visual archive of Yugoslav non-aligned internationalism with the interpretations of the corresponding visual archive of the Bandung Conference, I reflect on the impossibility of recognizing the futurity, solidarity, and alternative modernity in the photographs depicting Yugoslav international encounters in the context of the Non-Aligned Movement. I outline a number of reasons for this impossibility, some of which are related to the nature of photography itself, while the others are shaped by the specific temporality of post-Yugoslav post-socialism and the limits that this temporality imposes on political subjects, their imagination, and aspirations.
