»Vihar sovražen svet pretresa«
‘A Storm is Shaking the Hostile World’
Exhibition of the National and University Library of Slovenia
commemorating the centenary of the First World War
curator: Dr Alenka Bagarič
Vihar sovražen svet pretresa (A Storm is Shaking the Hostile World), a dark prophetic verse by the poet Simon Gregorčič was borrowed by the National and University Library for the title of this exhibition commemorating the centenary of WWI in 2014. The exhibition, organized within the scope of the Zbogom orožje, pozdravljena pesem Festival, aims to present different materials from special collections and to encourage researchers to study less familiar documents. The curator has selected articles from daily newspapers, personal diaries, refugee stories, drawings and photos, military songs, invitations to charitable events and other records related with music. An exhibition catalogue in the form of a special newspaper edition comprised of excerpts of documents and stories kept in the library suppliments the exhibit.
The exhibition will be on display until 24 september 2017.
