A gallery walkabout

 

Today a couple of my friends and I ventured on a gallery expedition. First we visited Klavdij Sluban's photographic exhibition in Gallery Jakopič.

 Then we ventured to Cankarjev dom to see Maria Lassnig's drawings and paintings.

When we continued on our way to the third gallery we came across a friendly dinosaur. 

After seeing the third exhibition of the day, we decided to have some lunch, so we ended our expedition.  

A day of literature workshops and readings

 

We all (people who live in Slovenia, but do not write in Slovene) gathered in Nova Gorica for a day of workshops and reading of our stuff (and me of course also taking photos).

(And just to show you all that I also read some of my poems, here is a photo taken by somebody else (with my camera) while I was reading - as you know, other people's photos do usually not feature on my blog (I think this is the second time this has happened, both times with me on the photo)

presenting the Slovene translation of her book of poetry. She even read a bit in Slovene. Unfortunately there were not a lot of us there.
