”As part of this year’s Floraart, we also planted some unusual artistic plants in closed domes, which were designed and set up by ALU students in Zagreb with their imagination. This exhibition of works by our young artists reflects on our specific situation of closed system, but also on the creative potential of art to open and revive the quality of our lives,” said project mentor Danko Friščić, Vice Dean for International and Inter-university Cooperation, University of Zagreb, ALU.
