Author’s Guidance through the Exhibition “In the Depts of the Province”

The guided tour by Aleksandra Gojgić, senior curator of the National Museum Čačak, through the exhibition “In the Depths of the Province”, will be held in the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo, on Thursday, June 13th, 2024, starting at 7 p.m. During the tour, the audience will also have the opportunity to see the film “Antique Time Machine”, which tells the story of the ancient heritage of Čačak with the use of 3D animations. The complete story about the Roman baths is specially apostrophized: as a universal story about this special type of Roman urban and social place of public life, the numerous remains of which are present in Serbia, as well as about the specific monument of this type found in the center of Čačak.

The province is a determinant that, as a concept of the past and the present, represents a global phenomenon that embodies passivity and peace, but also a space far from the center of events. Antique Čačak was located on the border of two Roman provinces, and the archaeological discoveries of its parts were placed in the center of today’s city, which allowed the fragments of an ancient time to flow into the present. Hence, the exhibition was conceived through multiple temporal and visual planes, combining photographic frames, poetic expression, paintings, drawings and immediate archaeological fragments. Discover how the layers of the ancient horizon are connected to modern man by the same territory, feelings and substance.
