Abstract

In the spring of 1968 a wave of revolt spread across the world. Although problems were different from society to society, people from Europe to America to Africa and beyond seemed to have some shared concerns – the repudiation of the dominant regimes and mainstream ideologies at all levels of society and culture. The paper deals with the impact of the ideas of ’68 and generally the spirit of the ’60s which produced some profound changes in society and art. The special focus is on the impact of the global spirit of change on the Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia from the perspective of the artistic endeavors of young artists in Belgrade who were committed to initiating a new artistic language through the art of performance.
