Opening: Tuesday, 21 May 2024, 12:00

The exhibition "On the Lookout for the Lookout" aligns with the central theme of this year's Slovenian Book Days literary festival in Maribor, which is "On the Lookout."

Created by Borut Gombač and Jerneja Ferlež and co-curated by graphic designer Rafael Kurnik, the exhibition explores the meanings we strive for through the words of various authors and graphic representations. The creators have coined these meanings as "lookout-points” (“naprežki").

Visitors are invited to read, reflect on, and connect the sayings and scribbles.

On display from 21 May to 22 June 2024.
