Nick Brandt: The Day May Break. Chapter One to Three
Solo exhibition 
Curated by: Barbara Čeferin & Katarina Hergouth
31/03–18/08/2025
@Cankarjev dom Gallery

The Day May Break is the first part of a global series portraying both people and animals that have been impacted by environmental degradation and destruction. The series was shot in different locations around the world – countries that are the least polluting but the most climate vulnerable. The first two chapters were photographed in Kenya, Zimbabwe (2020) and Bolivia (2022), while SINK and RISE, dedicated exclusively to humans, was shot in Fiji. Photographed underwater, the local people in these photographs are representatives of the many people whose homes, land and livelihoods will be lost in the coming decades as the sea level rises.

Chapter Four, The Echo of Our Voices (Jordan, 2024), is on view at the Galerija Fotografija gallery.

Hana Knížova: Mothers
Solo exhibition 
Curated by: Gem Fletcher
23/04–29/06/2025
@Mala galerija Cankarjev dom

Hana Knížová’s series Mothers offers a poignant yet playful reflection on the evolving role of motherhood, capturing its raw intimacy from the postpartum period to early adolescence. Through her lens, the everyday realities of motherhood are depicted with both candour and warmth, avoiding fixed poses in favour of life’s unfiltered moments. As Knížová maintains a close relationship with many of her subjects, some photographed over extended periods, the series provides a compelling study of maternal transformation. Subtle shifts in demeanour and attitude reveal how a mother’s sense of self is negotiated within the ever-changing dynamic of the mother-child bond. After the presentations at Sarajevo Photography Festival and Mesnographies Festival (France) in 2023, the series Mothers, and thus the artist’s first exhibition in Slovenia, is going to be shown at Cankarjev dom.
