MILICA BABIĆ ANDRIĆ MEMORIAL HOUSE NOMINATED FOR "ŽIVA" AWARD

ŠAMAC, SEPTEMBER 8 /SRNA/ - Acting Director of the Šamac Cultural Center Milanka Blagojević announced that at an international conference in Bled, to be held from September 30 to October 3, she will present the Milica Babić Andrić Memorial House, which has been nominated for this year's prestigious Živa Award.

Blagojević said that the award is presented by the Forum of Slavic Cultures, established in 2004 at the initiative of the Government of Slovenia, to museums, memorial institutions and organizations dedicated to preserving and presenting cultural and natural heritage in contemporary ways.

She stressed that she is the only representative of Republika Srpska at the conference in Slovenia, noting that the Republika Srpska Ministry of Education and Culture is a member of the forum.

"The Živa Award places particular emphasis on the quality of exhibitions, innovation, accessibility of content, communication with audiences, ties with the local community, and contributions to culture and society," Blagojević told SRNA.

She stressed that, for all these reasons, the nomination represents significant recognition of the work of the Šamac Cultural Center to date and confirms that Šamac's cultural heritage extends beyond local boundaries.

Blagojević noted that the conference will bring together museum experts, curators, directors of institutions, and professionals in the fields of culture and museology from numerous European countries.

"It will be an opportunity to exchange experiences, present examples of good practice, and establish connections with international institutions. This is an important moment for Šamac and Republika Srpska because our Memorial House will be presented before an international expert jury and an audience from the fields of museology, culture and heritage protection," Blagojević said.
