As part of the In Memory of the Destruction of Vijećnica cultural event programme, the oldest square in Maribor will host an art exhibition. The Festić Gallery will act as the cultural bridge between Slovene and Bosnian artists by exhibiting a part of its rich permanent collection of works by renowned artists. The exhibition will bridge two different cultures, mentalities and gentle artistic souls, who have found a common existence in their artistic expression. Collaborating artists are:
PETAR BEUS
METKA ERZAR
HAMO IBRULJ
NARCIS KANTARDŽIĆ
ŠTEFAN MARFLAK
MARIJAN MIRT
VIKTOR ŠEST
The beauty of art is oblivious to differences in skin colour, religious beliefs or nationality. In a time, when human compassion and spiritual depth have been pushed to the brink of society, the need for each individual to remember the atrocities of war and strive to never repeat them is more necessary than ever.
“It is good to know something about the customs of various people, so that we can judge our own more sensibly and do not think everything different from our own ways ridiculous and irrational, as those who have seen nothing are accustomed to do.« (Rene Descartes)
