Icons and Fine Embroidery by Our Artist at a Major Exhibition in the Heart of South America! (PHOTO)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Through the icons and embroidery of Serbian artist Marija Vukosavljevi\u0107, the audience in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, will have the opportunity to enjoy them over the next month thanks to \u017dana Petkovi\u0107 Kulja\u010da de Rodriguez, the honorary consul of our country in that South American state, with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of the Republic of Serbia and the selfless assistance of the curator of the \u201cManzana Uno\u201d gallery, Cecilia Baje Boti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition was opened by the Secretary General of the MFA, Du\u0161an Kozarev, who on that occasion emphasized that \u201cthis exhibition is not only an artistic event, but also a symbol of cultural dialogue, understanding and friendship between our two peoples, firmly connected by the Christian religion and the nurturing of traditional values.\u201d Kozarev also noted \u201cthat relations between Serbia and Bolivia are good and friendly, based on a high level of mutual understanding, respect and support on the most important issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about the exhibited icons and their significance for the spiritual life of the Serbian people, honorary consul \u017dana Petkovi\u0107 Rodriguez underlined that \u201con the one hand, in an unconscious way and through these icons, national awareness was strengthened, and the tradition of Saint Sava and Orthodoxy were integrated into the Serbian spiritual being, which is why even in the most difficult moments of suffering and hardship the people preferred to renounce life and existence altogether rather than betray the tradition of their glorious ancestors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curator Cecilia Baje Boti pointed out that \u201cMarija Vukosavljevi\u0107 enters the spiritual space through the practice of machine sewing, thus revealing Orthodox icons that connect us in this way with the contemporary, in terms of form of execution, and the traditional.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
