Dear ladies and gentlemen,

It is with special pleasure that I express my sincere gratitude for the invitation to participate in the Festival “Slovo Bitter”, on the occasion of the intermedial performance “Steinlich” by the Austrian artist Markus Passecker.

The “Slovo Gorčina” festival has occupied a special place on the cultural scene of Bosnia and Herzegovina for many years, promoting contemporary artistic creativity, literature and dialogue between different artistic expressions. The inclusion of an intermedial performance by an international artist in the festival program additionally confirms the Festival’s openness to contemporary artistic practices and international cultural cooperation.

Intermedia art projects, which connect different media and artistic disciplines, enrich the cultural space and provide the audience with new opportunities to experience and understand art. Such content encourages creativity, the exchange of ideas and the strengthening of cultural ties between artists and institutions.

I thank the organizers for the invitation and for their dedicated work in creating a quality festival program. I congratulate all the participants and wish them a successful realization of the performance and the continuation of the successful operation of the “Slovo Gorčina” Festival.
