Over my Eyes: Stories of Iraq
4. 12. 2018–3. 3. 2019
The exhibition offers an unfamiliar perspective of Iraq through the eyes of a generation of young local photographers. The work of these photographers forms a unique and previously unseen view of Iraq and captures the fragmented picture of contemporary life across the country: from the vastness of the mountainous northern borderlands, to a multiplicity of scenes across the country, with the fading flashbacks of its recent history and the effects of the ongoing conflict.

Jaka Babnik: Pygmalions
15. 10. 2019–31. 12. 2019

#The Architect of Light" is the first retrospective exhibition of the architectural photography of Damjan Gale. An architect by profession, between 1974 and 1993 Gale created a striking photographic oeuvre.
