We are happy to invite you to the presentation and exhibition of the works created by the participants of the fourth workshop "Paper that heals: paper collage and words". Under the guidance of Božena Končić Badurina and Olja Savičević Ivančević, during five sessions, the participants dived into the healing power of paper, exploring the technique of collage and written forms. They found inspiration in their own possessions which, though not in use anymore, are still important for them and have sentimental value, as well as in artefacts from the virtual Trešnjevka Neighborhood Museum that ran out of us. Searching for the lost treasure, they sought to find objects that they weren't using anymore, but still hold on to, forgot in a closet or a drawer. While through personal items they recalled their memories, those from the virtual collection were shaped into new (hi)stories, and both came to the streets, briefly, in the form of posters and ads.
