Events that marked the year 2023 for the Makedonida association and our collaborators
The association “Makedonida” wishes you a Happy New Year and Merry Christmas, may the new year be filled with beauty and success!
In 2023, the “Makedonida” association actively cooperated with all relevant institutions from Macedonia. We would especially like to mention that in 2023, our association deepened the cooperation with the Macedonian Orthodox Church – Ohrid Archdiocese, which is a special pleasure and honor for us. In addition to current projects (the Register of Medieval Churches in Ohrid and the Ohrid region and the Art Residence “A/R Cagliari-Skopje”) and planning new ones, the association and our associates/members in 2023 accomplished many successes and participated in various events, we will point out some of them:

March – Gordana Velkov was the curator of the exhibition “The Fragility of Fireflies” by the young author Nadja Petrović in the Museum of the City of Skopje. The exhibition caused great interest and was visited by a large audience, including students from the Faculty Of Fine Arts in Skopje.
