The lecture addresses the situation in the sphere of culture in the postsocialist societies, which in many aspects challenges the very concept of postsocialism and the year 1989/90 as a historical breaking line. On the example of The Beltinci Folklore Festival in Prekmurje and more broadly on re-establishing the links in the post-Yugoslav cultural sphere, the lecture demonstrates important aspects of continuity between the socialist and post-socialist culture, particularly on a local level.
