The photographers Edward Echwalu, Neema Jodie Ngelime, Esther Ruth Mbabazi, Sameer Satchu and Sarah Waiswa are first-time exhibitors at the Museum of African Art in Belgrade. Some of them are professionally engaged in photography, some have won international awards, and others are building their careers in the field of photography. All are influencers in their virtual and real communities. Through the exhibition “Everyday Poetics” we intended to present photographers who use phones and the Instagram platform as extensions of their hands, minds and feelings. Instagram is to them an instrument of choice in their attempts to communicate as photographers, their views of the world, that is, the world as they live and see it through their quotidian, travels, as well as work assignments, which bring them to interact with a range of places and variety of people.

The Cultural Heritage of Topčider
A tour organized by the Museum of African Art, memorial House of King Peter and Heritage House
Since the 19th century the urban planning of Topčider (one of Belgrade's many hills) was envisioned as a city oasis, with numerous parks, picnic spots, large areas of forest and greenery. Hidden within it are numerous villas, summer houses and art studios built at the beginning of the 20th century. Through the “Cultural Heritage of Topčider” tour we will reveal different cultural institutions. During this tour, you can visit Museum of African Art, the memorial House of King Peter, Archive of Yugoslavia, Heritage House – the Legacy of Petar Lubarda, Museum Vespa Serbia and Public Aquarium and Tropicarium Belgrade.
Walking and talking with you, are art historians Ana Knežević, Museum of African Art curator & Ivana Zatežić, Heritage House associate.
