The Goriška region and its ecology are the inspiration behind the exhibition by UNG Academy of Arts students titled “Composing Local Ecologies”, which is part of the ReThinkable cross-border festival of transformative economies and territorial communities.

Following the Soča River, our ambitious photography student Renee Stanič explores the impact of photography on nature conservation by influencing human perception and behavior.
Kristian Petrovčič is a young creator with a passion for photography and video content, who in his work observes the impact of the environment on the development of society and vice versa – within a radius of 300 km from the center of Nova Gorica.
The video piece “Taming the Forest” is a research-based group artwork providing interpretations of maps and archival correspondence observing the process of afforestation of the Kras that took place in the territory which (today) belongs to Slovenia and Italy.
A set of four videos promote art and science collaborations where through the study process students get to know the theory of promotional video strategies, which in practice they later discard, upgrade, question — and then look for new ways of narration.
