On Thursday, 29.05.2025, from 20:00-20:30, during the opening of the Forest Encounters exhibition we welcome you for Where dreams bloom in silence: Future Forests and Tasks of Reverie, performative poetry reading by Jelena Vukićević.
Within me, forests grow
that will one day sing
in tongues not yet born.
Silent forests,
cradled in the breath of wind.
The dream of a greenness still to come.
(Where dreams bloom in silence: Future Forests and Tasks of Reverie, Jelena Vukićević)
A writer, poet, and literary theorist, Jelena Vukićević moves through the quiet confluence of inner stillness, reflective thought, and an imagination attuned to the subtle resistance of language – its quiet refusal to be merely useful. In her writing and workshops, language is not approached as a tool, but as a living, textured medium – an inner terrain where thought and emotion meet, gently woven together in forms that remain open, porous, and quietly unfolding.
