Konavle County Museum, Čilipi / 18:00
As part of the Konavle Municipality program “Konavle Panopticum”, the Konavle County Museum invites you to a lecture and opening of the photo exhibition “Treasure of the Mountain”, a documentary photography project that brings an impressive look at the last shepherds of southern Velebit and their thousand-year tradition of transhumant livestock farming.
The project is based on many years of work by archaeologist Maja Grgurić Srzentić, whose archaeological research has confirmed the continuity of the livestock farming tradition in this area for more than 6,500 years. The lecture will be given by Marko-Lorenzo Blaslov, a photographer and collaborator on the project, which has been recording the rhythms of life on the mountain, the coexistence of man and nature, and the rich heritage that has been passed down for thousands of years. His photographs bring powerful images of the Velebit landscapes and the people who survive in them, preserving knowledge that is slowly disappearing.
