We will also celebrate the cultural holiday with young audiences. As is tradition, this year again we are organising the event “Celebrating Prešeren with the CGP” together with primary schools across Slovenia. As 2026 marks the 100th anniversary of the death of poet Srečko Kosovel, curator-educator Ana Papež has designed the project around this theme. Although Kosovel created only for a few years due to his premature death, he left behind a substantial literary opus that significantly influenced 20th-century Slovenian literature. His texts, permeated with expressionist and constructivist elements, reflect strong social critique, visionary thinking and profound humanistic messages that remain extraordinarily relevant today.
For the Slovenian Cultural Holiday, we are preparing an exhibition of illustrations and prints entitled A Glimpse into the World of Kosovel – The Cloak of Imagination, on view at the Meduza Gallery in Koper from 6 to 28 February 2026. Pupils drew inspiration for their works from any poem of their choice from Kosovel’s poetry collections.
