Young Rhymes
updated 7 hours ago
Young Rhymes (Mlade rime) is a monthly series of poetry readings that have been happening at the Menza pri koritu since 2005. The series presents the voices of young, fresh or upcoming poets who are given the opportunity to either read their pieces to an informed and interested audience or be a part of this (predominantly young) audience. As such, Young Rhymes facilitates an open community of those interested in poetry and has probably become one of the cornerstones of the Slovenian poetry scene-in-the-making.

U3 Triennial of Contemporary Slovene Arts
updated 7 hours ago
The U3 Triennial of Contemporary Slovene Arts was established in 1994 by the Moderna galerija with the aim to provide a periodic overview of the current situation in contemporary Slovene art through the subjective eye of a curator/selector, drawing attention to works which are, according to the selector, the best and closest to the sensibility of the time. To assure a certain level of objectivity, the selector of every second U3 Triennial is a foreign curator, since this emphasises the purpose of the event: to underline differences in aesthetic concepts as well as in professional, critical, cultural, political, and social positions.
