Prefabrication of solidarity
Exhibition IMS-Zezelj between Yugoslavia, Cuba and Angola
FROM: 10:00
In the 1970s, Yugoslavia, Cuba, and Angola were linked by an unusual exchange of prefabricated building technology. As members of the Non-Aligned Movement, the three countries sought their own path of development beyond the Cold War polarization, in which the IMS-Žeželj system played a material role. It was a sophisticated skeletal structure of concrete columns and ceiling slabs, connected by steel cables, patented in 1957 by engineer Branko Zezelj at the IMS Institute in Belgrade.
Through photographs, archival material, and video interviews with architects and engineers from all three countries, this exhibition explores how "triangular solidarity" created lasting bonds between continents.
Curator-author team: Vladimir Kulic, Vesna Pavlovic, Jelica Jovanovic, Fredo Riviera, Ana Knezevic, Emilija Epstain.
