KATARZYNA MAJAK: Women of Power
7 June – 27 July 2012
Slovene Ethnographic Museum
In the series of 29 portraits and engaging interviews Katarzyna Majak presents a counter to the seeming homogeneity by revealing the realm of those existing beyond the mainstream – witches, healers, enchanters, visionaries and spiritual leaders.
Only a few traditional healers (so called ‘whisperers’ who mix religion and primeval superstitions to heal and remove spells using prayers) survived on the Belarusian border and cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
This fascinating journey from a woman to a woman (the youngest in her early 30s and the oldest in her late 80s) all over the country was my search for female wisdom and plurality of spiritual paths hidden within a monoreligious society. For many of the women it was a ‘coming out’.

HISTORY OF EUROPEAN PHOTOGRAPHY
Presentation of a project and panel discussion with Želimir Koščević, Primož Lampič and Lara Štrumej
7 June at 6 pm
Konzorcij bookshop Ljubljana
The History of European Photography (1900–2000) is an international research project spanning the whole of Europe. The project’s main achievement is an encyclopaedia in English, divided into three volumes / periods (volume 1: 1900–1938, volume 2: 1939-1970, volume 3: 1971–2000). A study on the history of photography in each country is written by an expert on photography from that country.
