  As part of this year's 11th Reciklart (International Art Festival of Recycling and DIY Culture), we are organising for the first time an art colony for female art students from universities in Slovenia and Serbia.

  In the days leading up to the upcoming festival, we will be working on this year's theme, "Waste Electronics", under the guidance of tutors from Slovenia and Serbia. All participants will create a work that will be exhibited as part of the festival's group exhibition at the Alkatraz Gallery and later in an exhibition in Novi Sad at SKCNS*. We will also create a group work that will be donated to AKC Metelkova mesto.

  The colony aims to bring together and enable (cross-border) networking of students of visual arts through collaboration and socialising in the context of exploring socially engaged themes that have long transcended the confines of countries and small communities and require a broader engagement, which can be addressed on a smaller scale through projects such as the art colony and exhibition.

  "Bring something, take something!"

  Bring your used items and discover new treasures to take home. From clothing, devices, and accessories to jewellery and household items, there is something for everyone. This year, we're excited to welcome pet toys, plants, and seeds into the mix, encouraging a vibrant exchange of greenery and fun for our furry friends. Come and contribute to this sustainable community effort, enjoy the spirit of sharing, and find delightful new items for your home and garden. Remember, someone's trash is another person's treasure!

• 21.00 - 24.00 Exhibition

  "Sangara: Dreamspace"

  You are invited to the exhibition by the artist Sangara Perhaj, who explores the space between nature and a box, between a scene and a product.

  "Sangara: Dreamspace"

  We are invited to unpack the dreamscape, the space between nature and a box. Between looking out of the window and opening something that already has an instruction manual. As part of this year's Reciklart Festival, Sangara Perhaj will present the exhibition Dreamscape. It offers a view that is both a scene and a product. Folded over glass, the landscape crosses the boundary between dreams and packaging. Cardboard edges, glittering details, silent creatures among alpine overhangs - is this looking outwards, or inwards? Is it landscape or packaging?

In case of rain, the festival programme will take place in the Alkatraz Gallery and YHD space.
