On the eve of St. Sava's Day, January 26, 2023, H.E. Ambassador of the Republic of Serbia to the United States Mr. Marko Djurić and Mrs. Svetlana Rogić (parishioner of St. Luke Serbian Orthodox Church of Washington, D.C.), founder and director of Art Exchange, opened the photography exhibition "Heritage of Stone and Heaven" inspired by the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage of Serbia at the Embassy of Serbia in Washington, DC.

 

Through exhibited photographs, the accompanying video presentation and music program of Serbian spiritual and traditional songs performed by pianist Milica SekuliΔ‡ and soprano Biljana Soldo, attendees experienced the splendor of Serbian cultural heritage, that due to its uniqueness, beauty, and significance for all humanity, found its place on the UNESCO’S List of World Cultural Heritage, List of Intangible Cultural Heritage and the Memory of the World Register. The exhibition, organized by Art Exchange, consists of twenty photographs selected by a three-member jury - Svetlana RogiΔ‡, Ivan Bagus, Ε½ivojin RakočeviΔ‡, among hundreds of works that were submitted to the international photography competition "Heritage of Stone and Heaven."

 

In her address, Mrs. RogiΔ‡ pointed out that Serbia is a good example of how a geographically and demographically small country can have an important place on the world cultural heritage map. She led the audience on a short journey through time from prehistoric times to the modern era that was illuminated by the Serbian-American genius Nikola Tesla. First, she pointed to the important archaeological sites Lepenski vir and Vinča, followed by the rich sites from the Roman era on the soil of today’s Serbia where as many as 18 Roman emperors were born, and then focused mainly on the period of the golden age of Serbian culture - medieval monasteries, endowments of kings and emperors from national dynasties.

 

Mrs. RogiΔ‡ stressed that Serbian spiritual and artistic heritage in Kosovo and Metohija is in special need of help and protection today. Countless times throughout history, and in our time in two tragic events in 1999 and 2004, invaluable sites in Kosovo and Metohija, which belong to world and European culture, have been systematically destroyed. Centuries of human accomplishments were turned to dust before our eyes, during which even the most important monuments of Kosovo and Metohija, which today are under the protection of UNESCO, were attacked: the Church of the Virgin of Ljeviška in Prizren, the Visoki Dečani, Gračanica and PeΔ‡ka Patriarchate monasteries, while the monuments and monasteries that were not destroyed, by hiding historical facts about who built them and when, even today it takes away their Serbian sign and character.

 

Mrs. RogiΔ‡ pointed out that Serbia is very rich in medieval heritage, both those that are under the protection of UNESCO, such as the monasteries of Mileševa, Studenica, SopoΔ‡ani, ĐurΔ‘evi Stupovi, Peter's Church in Novi Pazar, and those that due to their antiquity, artistic and spiritual value, will surely be under such protection in the future - the monasteries of Ε½iča, Ravanica, Ljubostinja, Manasija, or the Smederevo Fortress.

 

"The mission of Art Exchange is to incentivize and present to the American audiences works of art and contents that may not be ordinarily offered in this country, and which would surely enrich American audience. As a non-profit organization, our goal is to connect people through art in ways that help us understand one other, empathize, shine a light on truth, inspire and grow." -concluded Mrs. Rogić.

 

The exhibit will be on display at the Embassy of Serbia in Washington, DC until February 06, 2023.
