This anthology explores the key channels and networks through which avant-garde modernism spread in Scandinavia, the Baltic States, and Eastern Central Europe. It aims to break with the traditional narrative that predominantly associates cultural modernism and the avant-gardes with western metropolises. As a countermodel to this outdated idea, this volume develops a plural, polycentric concept of avant-gardes and modernism.
