“From April 1st to May 30th, in cooperation with Poraka Nova, the artist Viktorija Poposka will implement the project “I’ll go to our places” – („На наши места ја да си идам“), supported by the Ministry of Culture of Macedonia, through the program, “Draw in Cyrillic”.
With the cycle of illustrations that will be painted by the artist and short creative texts, we want to make a reading and a vision of the Ohrid UNESCO region, to be told with a modern manuscript and approach tempting to today’s eye. In addition to the aesthetic impact and visual promotion of the region and its specific values, through creative text and the contents of the illustration itself, we want to raise the recipient’s awareness of the values that the region possesses, as well as the awareness of its protection and sustainable management. Another, no less important goal of this project is to increase the economic opportunities of people with less opportunities as well as the artists themselves, who also live on the economic margins of our society.
Poraka Nova appears in this project as a partner producer, who will print the tourist cards from the illustrations, a product intended for sale that will be distributed through the first regularly employed street vendor Igor Shajnoski, a person with Down syndrome, a protégé of Poraka Nova .We started the project already on April 7th, when in the Development Hub, Vishni, at the invitation of the INKA Struga association, the artist, together with the collaborators in the project, will hold a workshop on recycled paper, where the original illustrations will be made.
Among other things, the project foresees the promotion of the finished designs, followed by an art exhibition of the original illustrations.
Stay tuned for more information in the coming period.
