Dear fellow SHERA members,

 

I am working on a project on the intersection of industrial design and
folk arts in socialist-era Slovenia. I am aware of works that address the
folk arts in former Yugoslavia and Eastern Europe; the political
foundations of modern design in the former Yugoslavia; and style and
socialism in the broader region. Local journals of the period include very
interesting articles on state-sponsored cottage industries, which
flourished in Slovenia from the early 1950s forward. 

 

I am curious whether anyone can point me to work on such cottage
industries in the region, and on other intersections of state-sponsored
corporations or similar entities with folk traditions and arts. 

 

I also welcome suggestions more broadly on literature on the intersection
of industrial design and traditional or folk arts. 

 

Thank you,

Veronica Aplenc
