In the ten-year-long cooperation with the Serbian Embassy, the Centre helped organize in 2013 an exhibition of our painter Marijana Andjelic within the framework of the art colony "Design Fest" in Tokyo and a presentation with a cooking class of Embassy representatives in the context of the same project. In November 2015, they held on the Embassy premises a presentation of Serbia for their own members. Their magazine "Furyu" published, on several occasions, interviews with the Ambassador and other representatives of the Embassy on the subject of Serbia and its culture, and they promoted events at the Embassy and guest performances of Serbian artists and of folklore companies in Japan. |
