Ukrainian-Danish artist Sergei Sviatchenko, arguably one of the most influential innovators of modern collage, moderated graphic design workshop at BDW. He was developing the personality through the reflection in each others in order to evoke student’s unusual thinking by involving them into art process.
Belgrade Design Week is a one-off – a unique set-up that is free from the corporate atmosphere that so often pervades other such events. The energy, optimism and warmth of Jovan and his team flows through every event – lectures, workshops, meals & drinks alike!
I’ve never been good at sitting in a dark lecture hall for more than an hour or so at a time but found myself doing three lectures back to back at Belgrade – such was the quality of speakers. Timetabling was crazy at times but at BDW everybody seems happy to ‘go with the flow’ – and has an even better time for doing so. The City of Belgrade should be very proud of this gem!
