Join us for inspiring online presentations exploring how exhibitions can spark meaningful conversations about the world we live in and the world we want to build.
In the first presentation, Mirjana Slavković and Sara Sopić will share the story behind Hedgehog’s Home — Inventing a Better World, an exhibition rooted in a beloved children’s poem and brought to life through participatory, co-designed and affective curating. Developed together with children and an interdisciplinary creative team, the project creates a playful yet reflective space for intergenerational dialogue on heritage, identity, community, belonging, diversity, and tolerance.
The second presentation by Uroš Dokl takes us behind the scenes of Human, Do You Know Where You Are Going? — an environmental exhibition developed in collaboration with educational and scientific institutions. Tackling urgent questions about humanity’s relationship with nature and information, it examines pollution, waste, and the overwhelming flood of misinformation in the digital age, holding up a mirror to modern society and inviting us to reflect on the consequences of our choices.
Both presentations offer a unique look into how exhibition-making can become a powerful tool for education, critical reflection, and social change.
