The poetry evening, which will open the workshop, is also a promotional evening. On this occasion, visitors will enjoy the paintings of Aida Šarac and the verses of poet Vrhunc Goran. Along with these artists, Mirza Okić, Jelena Vidović, Amina Beriša, and others will also be presented to the public. In addition to presenting their works, visitors will have the opportunity to hear many more poems by young authors from BiH and the diaspora.
