EU Residence hosts art exhibition on the European Green Deal

EU Residence hosts art exhibition on the European Green Deal
Skopje, 10 March 2022 (MIA) - EU Ambassador David Geer and the First Lady Elizabeta Gjorgjievska opened Thursday the exhibition “Pink Tigers and Golden Lizards and Everything Else” in the EU Residence, which is part of the Green Deal campaign. The EU Delegation in Skopje launched the campaign last November calling for a strong political commitment and immediate action at all levels in tackling climate change, it said in a press release. "The principal theme of the exhibition is preventing the collapse of biodiversity, which is among the core objectives of the European Green Deal. The artists, selected by the Skopje Gallery Acanthus, had the opportunity to express their environmental concerns inspired by the European Green Deal," said the press release. Vana Uroshevik and Zoran Todovich, Velimir Zernovski, Maja Kirovska, Nenad Tonkin and Ozbek Ayvaz produced unique works of art that will serve as food for thought for the interactive debates that the EU Delegation will organise during the next three months. The workshops will provide a forum for discussion about the most pertinent issues related to the Green Deal in North Macedonia and possible solutions. They will involve children, students, civil society, authorities and academia. The exhibition will be open for the public until 20 May 2022. Reservation of a time slot for visiting and free-of-charge tickets can be obtained via the Facebook page ‘EU za Kultura’.
