Ljubljana Art Weekend: With the curator after the photography of Aïda Muluneh
Jakopič Gallery at Ljubljana Art Weekend 2025
As part of Ljubljana Art Weekend, on Saturday, 24 May 2025, at 4.30 p.m., we invite you to an expert guided tour of the exhibition of the contemporary Ethiopian artist Aïda Muluneh with the curator and art director of the Jakopič Gallery Dr Marija Skočir. Aïda's staged photographs, full of symbolism, vibrant colours and bold patterns, tend to reflect and raise awareness.
The exhibition On the Edge of Past Future presents Aïda Muluneh's most outstanding series from the last decade. The photographs are characterised by vibrant colours, symbolic compositions, and multilayered storytelling. As part of Ljubljana Art Weekend, you will be guided through the series by our gallery curator and art director Dr Marija Skočir, who will shed further light on the complex symbolism behind Aïda's works.
Aïda Muluneh's work is rooted in her Ethiopian heritage and global experiences, her works blend traditional African body painting with influences from cinema, painting, and photojournalism. Each photograph is carefully designed to provoke reflection and transcend the boundaries of conventional documentary or artistic photography.
The guided tour is free of charge for Ljubljana Art Weekend participants.
