WELCOME TO AiR ZVJEZDANE STAZE 2024!

After months of dedicated preparation and hard work by the entire AiR Zvjezdane staze team, the local community and our dedicated supporters, the moment we have all been waiting for has finally arrived. We are delighted to welcome the very first artists in residence for the first edition of the Zvjezdane staze artistic residency. From July 3 to September 30, 2024, this pioneering event will take place alongside the 12th edition of VaClaF: Vareš Classic Festival, under the uplifting motto “Dreams to Come True”.

For the first time in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a project under the auspices of the European Union’s “Culture Moves Europe” program will be presented. Out of 46 applicants from 24 countries, five exceptional artists were selected through an international call to take part in our program: the composer Marta Kowalczuk (Poland), the composer and pianist Manuel Pessoa de Lima (Brazil), the pianist and composer Roman Stolyar (Russia), the writer and dramaturge Minja Jovičin (Serbia) and the composer Damjan Jovičin (Serbia).

This residency is not only an opportunity for artistic creation, but also a celebration of cultural exchange and collaboration. As part of the artistic residency Zvjezdane staze and in cooperation with VaClaF: Vareš Classic Festival, we will present a variety of local and international artists. The program includes concerts, lectures, audio walks and master classes that will create a dynamic atmosphere of exploration and productivity. These events will be complemented by a rich gastronomic offering and the opportunity to explore the natural beauty, cultural heritage and historical heritage of this notable region.
