BOOK PRESENTATION: CMUREK CASTLE BY IGOR SAPAČ

Thursday, April 11 2024, 17:00, Glazer Hall

Dr Igor Sapač, from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering, and Architecture at the University of Maribor, will present his book Cmurek Castle, published in 2023 in the book collection Works of Art in a Pocket by ZRC SAZU Publishing.

In the book, the author discusses the former nobleman's residence, which later became the Hrastovec-Trate Institute for the Mentally and Nervously Ill and, since 2013, has been a vibrant cultural centre. As the author writes, the castle is once again connecting people on both banks of the Mura and contributing to mutual understanding, dialogue, and tolerance in a special place of intertwining human creativity.

The discussion with Dr Igor Sapač will be moderated in our Book Sessions by the editor of the publication, Dr Gorazd Bence, of the ZRC SAZU France Stele Institute of Art History, and will include the reviewer, Dr Tina Košak, from the ZRC SAZU France Stele Institute of Art History, and by Dr Sonja Bezjak, the director of the Museum of Madness, which operates in Cmurek Castle in Trate.

The event will be conducted in Slovene.

We look forward to your visit!
