The exhibition Nicht Fallen by Slovenian artist Jošt Franko is part of an ongoing interdisciplinary project that has been collecting, chronicling and depicting the communities and landscapes scarred and marginalised by the war in the former Yugoslavia since 2017. Juxtaposed with found objects, the images of daily life raise issues that, although specific to the historical and geographic realities of the region, testify to the universality of recurrent violence and the perpetuation of conflict long after the war has ended.

Opening of exhibition is scheduled for 8th of September 2020 at the Kresija Gallery, Stritarjeva street 6, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
