Today in Jelićeva, an exhibition titled “The World of Illustration” by the prominent artist of Sarajevo Canton Džejlana Karaman Pašić was opened.
During the duration of the exhibition, about a hundred works created in cooperation with writers and publishing houses will be shown, including author’s picture books, maps and various illustrated educational materials for children. The works are made in different techniques such as tempera, gouache, ink, pencil, as well as digital techniques. The main focus of the exhibition is on content intended for children.
Image and word have always been in an inseparable, friendly relationship. Teaching children the culture of books from an early age is extremely important, because the lesson of a fairy tale can affect various aspects of a child’s life – from emotional and moral development to the development of intelligence and reasoning power.
In addition to the illustrations on display, we will be introduced to the world of imagination and the written word by the multi-awarded BH. writer Marija Fekete-Sullivan , who will read one of her fairy tales during the opening. A special corner will be prepared for the youngest visitors where they can color, brainstorm and solve tasks prepared by the author of the exhibition.
JU Center for Culture and Youth of Centar Sarajevo Municipality invites all art lovers, parents and children to join them and enjoy this unique event that celebrates the beauty of illustration and the written word.
The exhibition will be open for 15 days and can be viewed on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the address of the center at Jelića Street 1.
