Humanitarian exhibition within the project "Mosaic culture through youth creativity" on the occasion of BiH Statehood Day

On the occasion of the Statehood Day of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Association “Education Builds BiH – Jovan Divjak” organized a humanitarian exhibition at the Public Institution International Center for Children and Youth Novo Sarajevo (Children’s House). The exhibition is the result of the project “Mosaic of Culture through Youth Creativity”, which was implemented with the support of the Municipality of Novo Sarajevo according to the LOD methodology for 2024.

The exhibition presented 28 works of art created over the past three years through creative workshops for scholarship holders and members of the Association. The humanitarian goal of this action is to raise funds to help young people from areas affected by floods and landslides in October 2024. Each donor who supports the action will receive one of the exhibited works of art.

A special part of the program was the screening of the documentary film Gorčina Zec entitled “Safet Zec: Put majstorstva”. This film was shown for the first time after its premiere at the Sarajevo Film Festival, and the event was organized in cooperation with the “Ivanka and Safet Zec” Foundation and with the support of the Municipality of Novo Sarajevo, which in 2021 declared the Association an association of public interest for the Municipality of Novo Sarajevo

The screening and exhibition were attended by scholarship holders and members of the Association, students and students of art schools and academies, citizens, donors, representatives of the Municipality of Novo Sarajevo, and ambassadors of Italy and France. After the screening, the audience had the opportunity to talk with the author of the film Gorčin Zec, as well as with the great Bosnian and Herzegovinian painter Safet Zec, who shared valuable advice and inspiring messages with young artists.

One of the comments from the audience left a special impression:

“I would like to thank you as a great world painter, but also your son for this film. I cried, you left us something great, this can be an incentive for us to continue.”

To this, Gorčin Zec replied:

“If the film means something to at least one person, it is a great success.”

The association “Education Builds BiH – Jovan Divjak” thanks all the citizens who visited the exhibition and contributed to this noble initiative.
