Exhibition of Slovenian Illustration at Bologna Children’s Book Fair | AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED?
Bologna Children’s Book Fair, Italy
The title relates to a child’s curiosity, the desire to turn the page and find out what happens next. More broadly, it asks us where we are directing our common future, how books and illustrations can contribute to optimism and motivation for change.
The expert committee of the Slovenian Book Agency, in cooperation with the Slovenian Center of Illustration, presents the imaginative and stylistic variety of contemporary Slovenian illustrators. The exhibition highlights the works of award-winning original Slovenian authors working in the field of children’s and young adult book illustration.
