More than 40 towns in Serbia promoted cultural heritage via museums, galleries and exhibition spaces with a total of more than 450 events. In Belgrade, there were 67 participating institutions with 136 separate events.
Just as books transport readers to far away places, Vesna Klačar-Nedimović takes viewers on a journey with her digital prints and etchings.
Carindale library visitors will be treated to a visual tour through the streets of Belgrade as the travelling exhibition Fragments II: Belgrade makes its way to the library in November.
The series of artworks “Fragments II: Belgrade” show an architectural façade overlaid with a map that describes the way the city is threaded into the artist’s memory, exploring her personal, familial and cultural ties to the city of her youth.

The building that houses the hotel was built in 1887 in an academistic style, and is one of the excellent examples of Belgrade architecture. The building was designed by renown Belgrade architect Jovan Ilkić.
During the Residence Vesna reconnected with Belgrade and its people, networked for future collaborations, partnerships and exhibitions, became a member of the Association of Serbian Visual Arists (ULUS), immersed herself in Belgrade art and culture, furthered her market knowledge and photographed the city for future projects.
