The For the Democratization of Art Collections contains six photographs representing the activist work (i.e. performances) of the Croatian conceptual artist Marijan Molnar from 1979 to 1983. The work consists of a series of performances in which the author drew graffiti and hung banners with the message "For the Democratization of Art" in Zagreb, Belgrade and Ljubljana, collected signatures for a 'petition' on Republic Square in Zagreb, had his picture taken dressed as a terrorist for the student newspaper and presented an installation at the Koprivnica Gallery. Through this work, Molnar tried to point out the influence of politics on art in socialist Yugoslavia, at the same time seeking freedom of action for artists.

A Fortepan a huszadik századot 1990-ig dokumentáló fotográfiák elsőszámú gyűjtőhelye Magyarországon. Társadalmi jelentősége minden más hasonló gyűjteményén túlnő, mivel a fényképeket nagy felbontásban ingyenesen teszi szabadon felhasználhatóvá. Egyedülálló módon magánkezdeményezésből nőtt ki e kis költségvetéssel működő non-profit vállalkozás. A kezdeti ötezres fényképállomány a sokszorosására nőtt már és dinamikusan növekszik, ahogy egyre több intézmény és magánember ajánlja fel gyűjteményét digitalizálásra a Fortepannak. A képek többsége az egykori Magyarországot dokumentálja, de egyre növekszik a más országokban készült felvételek száma is. A Fortepan a legnagyobb olyan szabad hozzáférésű digitális fényképgyűjtemény, amely az államszocializmus időszakának kulturális ellenállásáról gazdag anyag található.

Gordana Vnuk's personal collection contains published and documentary materials about the festival of new theatre Eurokaz, the theatre company Coccolemocco, the international theatre festivals Young People’s Theatre Days and Young People’s Theatre Days of Dubrovnik and the The Society of Amateurs in Culture and Arts Vinko Jeđut at which premises the company was working for some time under the pretext of being its theatre section. Coccolemocco, as a part of independent cultural scene, introduced new elements to the performing arts and a new type of theatre into Croatian and Yugoslav society. Through their selection of themes, the young theatre zealots inaugurated and discussed issues pertaining to Yugoslav leftist practices, relying on the utopian ardour of their generation who chose theatre as a possible mode of responsible and open action along the lines of Brecht and his dialectical method. Such an attitude ultimately lead to negative criticisms from a part of the professional mainstream community.

Heiner Müller was one of the most important German dramatists of the 20th century. After his drama
Die Umsiedlerin (
The Resettler Woman) was censored in 1961, following a single performance, many of his plays prohibited in the GDR were staged in the West. The core of the constantly expanding Heiner-Müller-Archiv / Transitraum is Müller's personal library. While Müller's manuscripts are kept at the Academy of Arts, his library constitutes a separate collection run by the Institute for German Literature at the Humboldt-University of Berlin.

The collection of photographs by Croatian conceptual artist Tomislav Gotovac presents four performances (Reading the Newspapers, Listening to the Radio, Watching Television and Telephoning) from the 1980 and 1981 in which the artist awaited the death of Yugoslavian President Josip Broz Tito, thus underscoring the social and media psychosis of that moment. The work used a subversive strategy by which the artist indirectly drew the public and socialist regime into the performance, leaving them to think: what is the artist showing?
