Exhibition of Modern Art

Friends!

On the 31st of July at 19:00, I invite everyone to the opening of the exhibition of the project 'Museum of Unforgotten Things' at the bookshop 'Lav i Zhabats'!

The Museum of Unforgotten Things preserves and conveys the stories of people who were forced to emigrate from Russia through the items they took with them, which hold valuable memories of the past.

The first exhibition of the project features 16 stories of immigrants who moved to Serbia. Among the participants' belongings are souvenirs, books, tableware, interior objects, and even live plants. The photos of these items placed together resemble a wall of family pictures, where each fragment is a part of the collective history.

The unifying element of the exhibition is the author's embroidery by Galya Smorodinoy. Galya specially created embroideries over five photographs for the project, symbolically connecting the past and the present. The embroidery here serves as a connecting thread between the items and the people's stories.
