Jugoslovenka in a sea of avant-garde machismo: a feminist reading of NSK

The Slovenian collective Neue Slowenische Kunst (New Slovenian Art, NSK) created some of the most politically provocative, transgressive, innovative, and influential art of the 1980s in Yugoslavia and the larger East European region, followed by an even more fertile international career in the post-Yugoslav context even today. Based in Ljubljana, NSK was founded in 1984 by three previously existing groups: Laibach (music), IRWIN (visual art), and Gledališče Sester Scipion Nasice (Scipion Nasice Sisters Theater, SNST) (theater). Laibach and IRWIN are still active to this day, while SNST disbanded in 1987, as it intended to do from its inception. Copious publications,
