At a time of rising nationalism and distorted historical narratives, the exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the images \u2013 and perhaps on photographic images in general \u2013 as domains in which meaning is arbitrarily redistributed and rewritten and the politics of representation are constantly being reinvented. <strong>The project is a visiting exhibition organised through collaboration between Piran Coastal Galleries and MGML \u2013 Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana as part of the 2027 programme<\/strong>, <strong>in partnership with the Projekt Atol Institute<\/strong>. A survey catalogue has also been published to accompany the exhibition and will be presented as part of the winter programme of accompanying events. The curator of the exhibition, which will open <strong>on Friday, 6 November 2026, at 6 p.m., is Hana \u010ceferin. It will be on view at the Piran Civic Gallery until 11 April 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IRWIN: PHOTOGRAPHIC WORK |\u00a0curated by: Hana \u010ceferin,\u00a0coordination: Tina Jazbec |\u00a0 Piran Civic Gallery, Tartinijev trg 3, Piran, 6.11.2026-11.4.2027 |\u00a0Opening: Friday 6. 11. 2026 at 6 p.m. |\u00a0 In collaboration with: MGML \u2013 Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana, City Museum of Ljubljana and Projekt Atol Institute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":29843,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,79],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-city-gallery","category-exhibitions"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.obalne-galerije.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.obalne-galerije.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.obalne-galerije.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.obalne-galerije.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.obalne-galerije.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29852"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.obalne-galerije.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29852\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29854,"href":"https:\/\/www.obalne-galerije.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29852\/revisions\/29854"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.obalne-galerije.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29843"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.obalne-galerije.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.obalne-galerije.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.obalne-galerije.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
