About the Body Through the Eyes of Youth
Novi Sad – An exhibition revealing how young people view the body – through art, ideas, and personal stories, created during the project 'Who/Is the Body?', was recently opened at the Gallery of Matica Srpska. The exhibition arose from this question and, as Novi Sad gallerists indicate, the courage to answer it.
