The photography exhibition “On the Paths of Shepherds and Pastures” will open on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, at 19:00 in the gallery of the Knin Museum in Knin. The display features 50 photographs selected through a competition of the same name, jointly organised by the Split Photo Club and the Biom Association.
The competition was launched to mark the International Year of Pastures and Pastoralism, declared by the United Nations for 2026. In response to the call, 625 photographs from 142 photographers from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovine were received, with a professional jury selecting 50 for the exhibition.
Among the award winners are Frane Jerkan, Vladimir Tadić and Ivan Alebić. Frane Jerkan won first prize for the photograph Bitelić, Vladimir Tadić took second for the shepherd portrait Gorštak, and Ivan Alebić secured third for the photograph Shepherd and Flock.
Following the exhibition opening, a lecture titled “The Wealth of the Mountain” will be delivered by Marko-Lorenzo Blaslov. The exhibition will remain open to the public in the Knin Museum gallery until 30 November 2026.
The display was created as part of the Mosaic of LIFE and Heart of the Dinaric Karst projects, thereby completing the narrative on the preservation of pasture habitats and pastoral traditions in the Dinaric region.
