To mark the conclusion of the exhibition Batič and the Sea, commemorating the centenary of sculptor Stojan Batič’s birth, they invite you to a lecture by artist and educator Boris Beja at MGLC Švicarija on Tuesday. He will speak about Batič’s creative oeuvre and legacy, especially his lesser-known works created for Slovenian ships of the Splošna plovba shipping company.

Stojan Batič (1925–2015) left a lasting impact on Slovenian post-war sculpture with his public monuments, park sculptures, and intimate small-scale works. His diverse body of work explores themes such as community, mining life, revolution, music, theatre, history, Greek mythology, the mother-child relationship, dance, and the human condition.
