For the Gallery of Matica Srpska, which is celebrating its 175th anniversary in 2022, there is no more important and unique painter than Uroš Predić. In his personality, his overall work, especially his artistic creation, the fundamental values of this institution are gathered: endowment, commitment to the common good and national values. Therefore, it is with full conviction that the Gallery of Matica Srpska dedicates this great jubilee to him, organising this major exhibition. In accordance with the institutional determination developed over the past quarter of a century, that the Gallery is a ‘museum open to all’, the work and life of Uroš Predić are brought closer and accessible to a wide audience (children, young people, the elderly, as well as people with different disabilities).
The exhibition is adapted for people with visual impairments through tactile models of images with audio descriptions. Further, the exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue in Braille, as well as an audio recording of the text of the catalogue. Moreover, as part of the accompanying programme of the exhibition, expert interpretations and curatorial guided tours in sign language and inclusive workshops created with Per.Art will be organised. An educational programme has been arranged for the youngest visitors, while young people will get to know the life and work of Uroš Predić through comics.
