This
summer, the National Gallery of Slovenia is participating in the exhibition Creativity is a Superfood, organized by
the Slovenian Intellectual Property Office to commemorate the 30th anniversary
of its operation, 30 years of Slovenian independence, the Slovenian Presidency
of the Council of the European Union and the proclamation of Slovenia as a
European gastronomic region of 2021.
At the
exhibition, the field of intellectual property will be connected and
intertwined with two other broad fields, namely culture or cultural heritage
and food or gastronomy.
The
exhibition aims to emphasize that Slovenian society has always been creative
and innovative, and at the same time to inspire current and future generations to
further such development.
The
exhibition was created in cooperation with several Slovenian museums and
institutions (Technical Museum of Slovenia, Museum of Christianity in Slovenia,
National Gallery of Slovenia, National Museum of Slovenia, Natural History
Museum of Slovenia, Slovene Ethnographic Museum, Slovenian School Museum, SAZAS
Association, AIPA, Slovenian Federation of Filmmakers' Guilds, the Association
of the Blind and Visually Impaired of Slovenia, The Ribnica Handicraft Centre,
The Idrija Lace Designation Committee and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry
and Food).
