The Association Mink Tolmin will organise a series of events dedicated to art in wartime and conflict zones through the Art against Guns project. Three sites of outstanding importance for both locals and Europeans in general have been chosen for the events. The Javorca church in Tolmin, which bears the European Heritage Label, was built by soldiers of different nationalities who fought on the frontlines during the Battles of the Isonzo. The same prestigious title has been awarded by the European Union to the Franja Partisan Hospital, a secret hospital from the Second World War. The third site involved is the Peace Park on Sabotin, the scene of some of the toughest battles of the First World War.
The aim of the project is to establish a dialogue between historical and contemporary war art and artists in order to celebrate humanity and art in times that are difficult for these building blocks of society.
