Renowned and award-winning Slovenian architect Blaž Budja, graphic designer Sava Kosmač, writer Jeff Bickert and I have joined a collaborative process, interviewing creative mediums to document the life of a unique street of Ljubljana where local initiatives, family businesses, world cuisine, artistic, activistic initiatives, and multicultural social businesses coexist in a vibrant equilibrium with graffiti, various street art approaches, and lively squat area.
Out purpose is to emphasize what is special, perhaps unique, and in the light of the current refurbishment, is worthwhile to “handle with care”.
The project, co-financed by the City of Ljubljana, will come to fruition at the end of 2019 in the form of a printed publication – an art book, spatial interventions on Trubarjeva Street and a website.
The year 2019 started with APIS Institute’s project Multivizija, as part of which my colleagues and I were running photo workshops for vulnerable groups. I am sharing some visual moments from the discussion on empowerment and representation of vulnerable social groups through art experience and the photography exhibition opening of amazing works by Multivizija project‘s participants: Camilo Acosta Mendoza, Aber Al Gendy, Tina Cerk, Naiem Ibrahim, Kevin Koman Modic, Katrin Modic, Jelena Radusinović, Aljoša in Miranda Škaper, Romana Šteblaj, Naira Tahirović, Urša Tonejec. The event was taking place at ZRC Atrium on May 30, 2019. Thank you for being with us.

Robi Kroflič, professor of theory of education and general pedagogy at the Department for pedagogy and andragogy, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, Miranda in Aljoša Škaper, authors.
