‘Exhibition Ranieri Mario Cossàr, ethnographer – Level of reality: Between creativity and authenticity of photographs from 1928’ is a new exhibition we have set up at the Ethnographic Museum of Istria
Atelier Pelikula is an international project for young people from diverse cultural, social, and economic backgrounds, including those from Istria, Trieste, and Rijeka. This innovative initiative, carried out by the organizations Sonda from Vižinada, Filmaktiv from Rijeka, Primi Piani APS from Trieste, and the Municipality of Vižinada is funded by the European Union through the Erasmus+ program
The work is dedicated to great Croatian poet Tin Ujević and it’s questioning society’s relationship with those who create art, both after their death and, more importantly, during their lives
Ballet diva Carlotta Grisi was born in Vižinada in 1819 and today her name is an ever-present entry in numerous European and world dance encyclopedias. The connection between Carlotta and Vižinada encouraged us to start researching her character and work which resulted in an interactive exhibition and the design of a monograph.
Our creative directors Jelena and Sean recently attended the 70th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Here are some brief impressions…
