PHOTO COLLECTIVE
The 2nd edition of the International Photo Collective took place over the course of eight days. Six photographers from Estonia, Russia, Israel, and Serbia came together to live and work in the village, hosted warmly by local volunteers in their homes.
Each participant developed a personal project inspired by Gardinovci and its community. The works were presented at the exhibition opening in the village Cultural Center, where residents and guests gathered to celebrate. You can see the projects below.
This collective has already become a tradition in Gardinovci, growing stronger with each edition and deepening the connection between international artists and the local community.
