Launched on the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Zagreb from fascism, the project "Cartography of Resistance" aims to highlight the suppressed political dimensions of the anti-fascist struggle and intervene in both the dominant discourse that demonizes the partisan struggle and the popular resistance to fascism, as well as the liberal-cultural discourse that omits its inseparability from the socialist revolution. “Cartography of Resistance” explores illegal Zagreb from 1941 to 1945, the networks and organizations of resistance, and their roots in the workers' and party organizing of the 1930s. In 2015, research focused on the political, social, and military context of the Liberation: the repressive apparatus of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), military actions around Zagreb, the structure and party organization within the occupied city, and the wide and extensive resistance network organized through the People's Assistance. The project gathers a group of researchers, historians, curators, and activists who translate the knowledge gathered during research into an urban seminar – a didactic tour of historical locations in Zagreb that revisionist politics have pushed out of the public space, accompanied by public forums dedicated to this historical period and the issue of contemporary forms of fascism. The results of the project and subsequent research can be followed on the website kartografija-otpora.org.
