Protest photos at Jakopič Gallery
Oct 1 - Jan 26 2025 Ljubljana
An exhibition showcasing photographs of anti-government protests during the pandemic is on display at the Jakopič Gallery.
On show are over 250 colour and black-and-white photographs by 38 selected photographers in what is one of the largest exhibitions of Slovenian photography to date.
The gallery's director Marija Skočir described the exhibition as a tribute to both professional and amateur photographers who captured some of what were more than 170 protest actions and demonstrations during the pandemic.
The title of the show Our Property: Slovenian Protest Photography 2020-2022 comes from the slogans of the protests, directed at polices and measures taken by the government of the time.
