The celebratory symposium is presided by Mara Ambro\u017ei\u010d Verderber<\/strong>, director of Piran Coastal Galleries (PCG) and dr. Majda Bo\u017eeglav Japelj<\/strong>, curator of the event. The traditional carving of the stone sculptures executed by four renowned artists (Mario Lopes<\/strong>\u00a0from Portugal, Alberto Scodro<\/strong> from Italy, Max M. Seibald<\/strong> from Austria, and Jure Markota<\/strong> from Slovenia), will end with a special program dedicated to art and nature. For the first time in the history of the event, the sculptures will be placed at the public spaces of the four coastal municipalities that actively took part in the organization of this event, which has been renowned and recognizable in the international art scene for six decades: Piran, Izola, Koper, and Ankaran.

Among the events accompanying the symposium, the workshops organized by Ana Pape\u017e<\/strong>, curator and educator of PCG, really stand out. In the gorgeous location formed by the natural environment of the sculpture park, children can play, take part in the dance workshops organized by the dancer and choreographer Tamara Peri\u0107, and participate in the siporex workshops organized by the sculptor Miha Pe\u010dar<\/strong>. The participants have the opportunity of learning about the history of Forma Viva while wandering through the park and getting to know the artworks realized during the past years. The children are also introduced to the figure of the sculptor, his tools of work, and the rules they have to follow in order to work in a safe environment.
