Since the beginning of the 1990s there exist dozens of obliterated or neglected objects, styles and words whose original semantics succes- sively blurred or disappeared following the radi- cal change of the political system. The Forgotten Pioneer Movement (TFPM) is a project formed in conversations and debates with a group of artists, curators, art theorists and art historians includ- ing Agnė Bagdžiūnaitė, Ana Bogdanović, Snejana Krasteva, Eglė Mikalajūnė, Maya Mikelsone, Anca Rujoiu and Ivana Hanaček, Ana Kutleša and Vesna Vuković from the curatorial collective [BLOK], about the experience of growing up between so- cialism and post-socialism — at the threshold to a post-Cold War, pOst-Western2 society.
