Exhibition of Modern Art

Friends!

On 31.07. 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 passes on the stories of people who were forced to emigrate from Russia through the objects they brought with them, which hold valuable memories of the past.

The first exhibition of the project features 16 stories of emigrants who moved to Serbia. Among the participants' items are souvenirs, books, tableware, interior items, and even living plants. The photographs of these items, displayed together, resemble a wall with family photos, where each fragment is a part of the shared history.

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

About the Authors

• Ulyana Dolmatova — exhibition curator, museologist, author of the project 'Museum of Unforgotten Things' and the Telegram channel 'Me in the Museum'.
• Galia Smorodina — moved to Serbia almost three years ago, creator of the project 'Chicken from the Alley'. This project is about contemporary embroidery, timely support, expat talks, and cozy girls' gatherings.
