"Tale of Freedom" — results of the two-week program.
The exhibition consists of 6 mystical paintings and graphic series, ideas of which are collected from the real context of Travneve village, endowed with symbolic meanings, with the through-line theme being philosophical reflections on freedom and responsibility. Young artists who worked for 2 weeks in shared studios and lived in one space, collaboratively created a mysterious reality filled with current challenges of the modern world - "Tale of Freedom". The project team practices a unique way of commemoration, inspiring young artists, creating conditions for their development and providing opportunities to implement projects about current social challenges.
