SILENCES OF A TROUBLED WORLD II

The Academy of Arts of the University of Nova Gorica presents at Salsaverde Gallery a selection of student works in which the authors, drawing from a personal position, reflect on themselves in the world and the world within them: their struggles, their relationship to their generation, and society at large. On display are quiet, individual explorations — islands of eloquent silence in a restless world.

Works and authors on display:

• Entropy, fiction film, Polina Bakalski Veljanoska, 12′
• Welcome to 2028, experimental film, Yue Feng, 7′
• UFO Section 1, essay film, Anđelina Petrović, 6′
• September 11, essay film, Nel Jeraj Sedej, 8′
• Why Do I Make Art? / Porque Faço Arte?, essay film, Priyal Ramesh Vassaramo, 6′
• The Room That Remembers, experimental film, Toma Kirina, 2′

Gallery hours during Kino Otok: Wed 10 June: 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM; Thu–Sun 11–14 June: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM, 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM
