The exhibition ”Kinč in Folk Customs” and the traditional event ”Zagorje Wedding”

On Saturday, 15 June 2024, the exhibition "Kinč in Folk Customs" was opened in the "Old Village" Museum as part of the "Zagorje Wedding" event. The program started with the "Wedding Kinč" workshop, where wreaths and wedding bouquets were made.

After the thematic workshop, the exhibition "Kinč in Folk Customs" was opened by the author Božica Lacković, a self-taught artist who, with her first independent exhibition through crepe paper flowers and a selected ethno collection, represents the heritage of the Andraševec settlement from which she originates, as well as the whole of Zagorje. In addition to the kinč, the author of the exhibition also presented a wedding cake from Andraševac, which brides shared when they left the house of birth as a greeting to their relatives, but also when they came to the groom's house to meet his family. This wedding cake is protected in Oroslavje as a cultural property of local importance.
