Product Description

In early May 1990, amid the political changes preceding the breakup of Yugoslavia, pupils at an elementary school in central Belgrade threw a portrait of Josip Broz Tito out of a classroom window.
At the time, the president’s portrait was still a mandatory fixture in every classroom across the country.
Captured during a regular school day, this moment stands as a symbolic gesture marking a break with the former system and foreshadowing the profound social changes that would soon follow.
