How important is it to position positive historical elements as a model for the future, especially when we speak about the freedom and progressive cultural and social practices? These are just some of the questions initiated during the open discussion "Omitted History" held in November 2005 in Novi Sad, at the opening of the exhibition "The Continuous Art Class, Novi Sad Neo-avant-garde of the 1960s and 1970s". Speakers of the debate were Zelimir Zilnik, movie director from Novi Sad, Prof. Misko Suvakovic, art theorist from Belgrade, Latinka Perovic, historian from Belgrade, Balint Szombathy, multimedia artist from Budapest and Lazar Stojanovic, movie director from Belgrade. This discussion was intended to throw light on crucial events on the political and artistic scenes at the beginning of the seventies of the twentieth century in former Yugoslavia, yet on the other hand, to offer the proposals for a model on how to critically read and write new history of the Yugoslav socialist times, connecting it to the present situation.
