May Salon 2025 – Soft Power

May Salon 25 – Soft Power

  1. 5. – 6. 7. 2025

This year’s May Salon asks the question of what is the role of artists today? Art is often in the service of politics, in the broadest sense of the word, as a form of soft power for the establishment and reproduction of national identity and other ideologies, but at the same time, artists have the power to address key issues of modern man in a rough and rigid society with a soft approach.

The curators of the May Salon 2025 are 𝗝𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗞𝗶𝗿𝗯𝗶𝘀̌ (Art Gallery Maribor), 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗮 𝗚𝗮𝗰̌𝗻𝗶𝗸 (Regional Museum Ptuj Ormož) and 𝗗𝗼𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗷𝗮 𝗞𝗼𝘁𝗻𝗶𝗸 (Gallery of the City of Ptuj).
