"Bojana´s research on the nonaligned comes from a cultural and art-historical position. It is an interdisciplinary approach to understanding how the non-aligned movement, apart from creating political, or social, or economic alliances was also attempting to create cultural alliances that would counter Western cultural hegemony, and what many in the movement, who were interested in culture, also called Western cultural imperialism.

Non-Aligned Movement: A Historic Movement reinventing itself for Future Non-Aligned Movement: A Historic Movement reinventing itself for Future2017 •
With the disintegration of the European colonial system after the Second World War, many things appeared on the international stage that changed the nature, style and strategies of international relations. Among those things, the emergence of new nations of Asia, Africa and Latin America brought about such a drastic change that the nature of international relations underwent a significant change in terms of its contents and style. Non-alignment is an Indo-Anglican word. With the only exception of the Random House Dictionary, no other dictionary recognises non words. So, as a concept, Non-alignment owes its origin to India. It was during our national independence movement, says Subimal Dutt in his memoirs ‘With Nehru in the Foreign Office', that "the principle of non-alignment was accepted by the Congress at Haripura session (1939). Even our culture and philosophy preaches what we refer to today as non-alignment, And this old Indian philosophy was asserted by Gandhi when he advocated that "India should be friendly to all, enemy to none."i

Nonaligned Modernism: Socialist Postcolonial Aesthetics in Yugoslavia, 1945–19852019 •
In less than half a century, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia successfully defeated Fascist occupation, fended off dominating pressures from the Eastern and Western blocs, built a modern society on the ashes of war, created its own form of socialism, and led the formation of the Nonaligned Movement. This country's principles and its continued battles, fought against all odds, provided the basis for dynamic and exceptional forms of art. Drawing on archival materials, postcolonial theory, and Eastern European socialist studies, Nonaligned Modernism chronicles the emergence of late modernist artistic practices in Yugoslavia from the end of the Second World War to the mid-1980s. Situating Yugoslav modernism within postcolonial artistic movements of the twentieth century, Bojana Videkanic explores how cultural workers collaborated with others from the Global South to create alternative artistic and cultural networks that countered Western hegemony. Videkanic focuses primarily on art exhibitions along with examples of international cultural exchange to demonstrate that nonaligned art wove together politics and aesthetics, and indigenous, Western, and global influences. An interdisciplinary book, Nonaligned Modernism highlights Yugoslavia's key role in the creation of a global modernist ethos and international postcolonial culture.
A “third” alternative to the Cold War’s bipolar politics, the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) generated a transcontinental network across Asia, Africa, East Europe, and Latin America. Studied extensively in the social sciences, the NAM is acknowledged to have shaped global politics, making space for the articulation of a critical “Third Worldism.” Yet, even as the Cold War remains central to discussions on postwar art, we are yet to engage with the NAM’s art historical resonances. What new forms of transcultural intellectual and artistic solidarities did non-alignment engender? How did non-alignment exert pressure on Cold War cultures? Might a renewed alertness to the NAM shift temporal, spatial, and conceptual categories within modern and contemporary art? We invite scholars, curators, and artists to examine creative practices in non-aligned worlds; investigate collaborations, exhibitions, and art writing as zones of interlocution; or even approach non-alignment as a method for art, art history, and exhibition practices today.

The History of Modernism in India2021 •
Orientalism left a hysteresis effect as our English-educated leaders diminished the vast pluralistic culture into a monolithic Hindu India. They diligently maintained the human degradation in Caste and created Quotas, levels, and sub-levels of the society. We live in a fractured society, and post-colonial modernism is its critical frame. Modernism challenges the reliability of elitist history that gave birth to the structure of the "national-popular" where the claim is: the ideas of the Nationalist elites motivated the people to the arena of "politics" from their "pre-political" state. Gandhi significantly created a vital strategy with 'mass,' using a larger front of the population in his peaceful protests. Since then, the presence of a large mass, the Janata, became a front in post-colonial politics. But this mass, ahistorical as they are, sometimes Hindus sometimes Muslims or Christians, the tribal or the city workers, but they always took the brunt of social maladies. They died in Bengal Famine, once crossed the borders during the Partition of India; now, they are the migrant-workers in millions lost job, shelter, and food, due to the sudden lockdown of the nation in the Covit-19 pandemic. This mass has no profile, never had, but essential in endless Yojanas, Bollywood scripts, and political rhetoric. Modernism has a historical belonging to the west. But ideas always traveled and found another context in new localization. In the Indian context, modernism could not be viewed as a simple translation as much of the realities and innovations have had different challenges. With the larger population outside the cities, modernism is not all urban-centric dialogue, like in Europe. It has its autonomous space and critical expressions, such as in literature, cinema, theatre, music, and contemporary folk expressions; it is a search in academic discourses and the Mantra in all developmental dynamism. Modernism creates ideas and consciousness but does not control individual or social action. However, within change and chaos, the tolling bell is already ringing. In essence, the emergence of corporatization created another sense of 'authenticity,' contextualizing global modernism. As it prioritized the global system, it already foreclosed on the autonomous trends of culture, focusing on transregional expansion. Westernism is yet the central theme where post-modernism flourishes with another connotation, the global modernism.

Global Modernism or Diffractive Modernism2021 •
This is the concluding chapter from One Continuous Line: Art, Architecture and Urbanism of Aditya Prakash (Mapin, 2021). It makes the case for rethinking the epistemologies of modernism as a global construct using the writings of Karen Barad as a major reference for thinking. ------- One Continuous Line: Art, Architecture and Urbanism of Aditya Prakash documents and contextualizes the work of one of the most prolific of the first generation of Indian modernists. Prakash was an architect, an urban planner, a painter, sculptor, set-designer, furniture designer, academic, theatre director, and actor, as well as an occasional poet. The first publication devoted solely to Prakash's work, the objective of this book is to introduce scholarly and general audiences the diversity of his work, to locate it in terms of its local, national, and international contexts, and to build a narrative that describes the motivations of the work. The "continuous" in the title refers both to Prakash's fascination with the possibilities of generating form using a single line, and to his search for synergy between the various disciplines. The book focuses on Prakash's efforts to re-think Le Corbusian idea through Indic forms and imperatives.
