Join us for a guided tour of the the first retrospective of Ive Šubic’c literary illustrations, which marks the 100th anniversary of his birth. On this occasion, the artist is for the first time also presented as a cultural figure with a focus on his contribution to the community.

The first guest of the artist talk, taking place at the medieval granary "Kašča", will be Franc Novinc, a painter, former professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana and honorary citizen of Škofja Loka.

The questions that will arise in the selection of the narratives transcend generational and general temporal boundaries and seem eternal: with what justification does a mother kill her child? What are the ways in which women save their souls and bodies? How many times does a woman's beauty and wisdom have to hide under her skin because it would be too dangerous for her to live otherwise? Where in our collective unconscious does the cowherd still live and where does the incestuous king rule?
