The 'Promising Reflections' exhibition opened on Wednesday at the Grad Gallery in Sinj. The exhibition addresses the question of how we view the Mediterranean today, what the Mediterranean means to us, and what the future holds.
Artists are participating in the 'Mediterranean 2035: The Next Chapter' project, a research and exhibition project conducted by the Split-based association Nomad Art in collaboration with HULU Split. This is the second year of the project's implementation, and this is its first visit to Sinj.
Through its presence in Sinj, the project highlights that the Mediterranean is not limited to coastal cities and areas; the interior also inherits this Mediterranean identity. The Dalmatian hinterland, including the cities of Sinj, Imotski, and Drniš, are part of the Mediterranean. Their urban identities have been shaped by the influence of the Mediterranean (West) as well as eastern impulses that have arrived from the East.
The exhibition was opened by Mirela Jusup, who expressed her pleasure at the opportunity to present the project to the people of Sinj and the local community. The exhibition's curator, Ana Bratić, presented the exhibition concept and the complexity of the theme to the visitors, while the director, Dr. Dragana Modrić, welcomed everyone present at the Grad Gallery.
The exhibition features works by ten authors: Goran Rado, Dino Milović, and Frank Tretnjak (NI3), Petar Reić, Andrea Majica, Ivana Svaša, Luka Duplek, Lucija Bužanić, and Vjeran and Vibor Juhas. The artists, through various media and formats, offer their vision of the future, reflecting on their own understanding and experience of the Mediterranean.
The exhibition will remain open until 21 October and can be viewed during the gallery's opening hours. During the exhibition, works by selected artists will be available for purchase at promotional prices. The 'Mediterranean 2035: The Next Chapter' project is funded by the 'Culture New' Foundation and the City of Split.
