Cultural events in September on Solta and Brac islands
An exhibition of paintings dedicated to one of the greatest Croatian poets, Vesna Parun, opened in the Grohote library on Šolta island, on August 30.
Four years ago, a project was launched in honour of Vesna Parun, which, through the eyes of various artists, seeks to prevent the character and work of the great Croatian poet from being forgotten. The new exhibition by Nevena Petra Piližota, which opened at the end of August in Grohote library on Šolta, also speaks about Vesna Parun.
The announcement of the exhibition states that this year the focus is on man. Pandemic circumstances have further emphasized the importance of paying attention to the light and shadow of each individual, reflecting on how well we know ourselves and others. Drawings and paintings capture individuals in moments of their efforts; human wills are manifested in facial expression, position, or body condition.
The exhibition is included in the event of the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia, European Heritage Days 2021 and it is open until September 30.
