Previously in Maribor than in Ljubljana: Exhibition on the wild years of the Koros Slovenes

The exhibition 'Wild Seventies' opened at the Museum of National Liberation in Maribor, focusing on the activism of Slovenians in Austria's Koroška region during the 1970s. The display includes photographs, artifacts, printed materials, and videos documenting the resistance against oppressive policies that limited the rights of Slovenians in the area. Young activists used various methods such as bilingual signage, posters, demonstrations, and journalism to challenge the dominance of German nationalism. The exhibition highlights historical events like the 1972 Tafelsturm, where German nationalists destroyed bilingual signs, and the failed 1976 minority census due to boycotts by Slovenians. It also draws parallels between the Koroška movement and student protests in Paris in 1968. The exhibition runs in Maribor this and next month.
