The international exhibition of altogether 32 artists from more than 10 different countries includes Slovenian artists Samira Kentrić, Ana Pečar and Mina Fina. It premieres in Maribor and is scheduled to later on roam the project’s partner exhibition grounds in Vilnius (Lithuania), Santiago de Compostela (Spain) Grand Angouleme (France), Rijeka (Croatia) and Limerick (Ireland).
