International Student Ceramic Exhibition
Event date: to
Event location: Narodni muzej Slovenije, Maistrova ulica 1, 1000 Ljubljana
We invite you to visit the international exhibition of ceramic students, held as part of the 6th International Triennial of Ceramics UNICUM 2026.
Alongside students from the Berlin University of the Arts (Germany), Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University (Türkiye), and the University of Maribor, the exhibition also features students from the Department of Industrial and Unique Design at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, University of Ljubljana, and the Department of Art Education at the Faculty of Education, University of Ljubljana.
The exhibition curator, Danijela Pivašević, Assistant Professor at the Berlin University of the Arts, writes: “I chose sustainability as the central theme. ... The works on display range from unfired clay, which can be reactivated with water, to finished objects and processes, including sound experiments, photographic investigations, clay printing on textiles, and other hybrid methods. While ceramic material remains the starting point, its boundaries are deliberately questioned and expanded.The exhibition presents a generation of young artists who approach ceramics through practical, research-based, and materially conscious practices. Sustainability serves as a catalyst for rethinking artistic production and education. Rather than offering fixed solutions, the exhibition proposes a spectrum of artistic perspectives that opens up new ways of thinking about material impact, responsibility, and the relationship between art, process, everyday life, and the audience.”
