 ONLY FOR ENTHUSIASTS!
EXHIBITION
OSOR Community Center, Town of Mali Lošinj,
Croatia, June - November 2026
PARTICIPATION
The exhibition is open to all artists, regardless of nationality, age, gender, profession...
TOPIC
CELEBRATION on a desert island
(birth, birthday, anniversary, wedding, holidays, New Year's...)
We are celebrating the coming of age of an exceptional manifestation: OSCARfest in Osor.
What else can be celebrated, and is it even possible to celebrate something on a desert island?
Peace? Perseverance? Boredom? Solitude? Confusion before life?
The rights you get as you come of age? Voting? Driver's license? Marriage?
What does it mean to deliver a cake to a desert island? A Trojan horse? A mob that pops out of
cake? Hospitality? Laughing at a prank? The joy of survival? Unity?
Does coming of age also mean taking responsibility for the world's problems?
Coming of age also brings Weltschmerz (world-pain). Let's not let our celebration end in tears.
We celebrate the strongest medicine against stupidity and injustice - CARICATURE.
Universal and without words. Everywhere. We celebrate humanity!
