Exhibition Memory of Water

With Elena Uljančić Vekić we created a thematic exhibition titled Memory of Water on the occasion of presenting Dr. Sc. Elena Uljančić–Vekić’s book Guide to the History of Water Supply in Poreč

The exhibition has been staged to raise the visitors’ awareness about the value, preservation, and use of water and the need for rational management of drinking water resources.

The exhibition spans three separate spaces with shared thematic units bearing testimony to attitudes to water yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

The first part of the exhibition housed on the ground floor of the museum is dedicated to the exhibition of Renco Kosinožić’s photographs with the motifs of wellheads and cisterns located in the historical core. Though small in size, these are valuable monuments to the everyday lives of our former fellow citizens. These wellheads have become decorative elements of secret Poreč’s courtyards, as illustrated by the water well located in the courtyard of Sincich Palace – another thematic unit of the exhibition illustrating today’s attitudes to water. The exhibition ends at the Sincich Gallery, addressing the issue of the future of water and people’s attitudes to water. What if water withdraws?

The exhibition remains open until June 30th, 2018.
