The Museum of African Art in Belgrade is presenting 'Reci: SculptUra' in its garden from May 21 to September 15, according to the museum’s August newsletter. The exhibition brings together three works by young sculptors Petar Božović, Marko Blanuša and Damjan Božović, and is described as a companion program to the museum’s current thematic exhibition 'Reci: Art – Waste as Resource'.
The newsletter frames the project as part of a broader program around environmental questions and contemporary artistic response. In the museum’s wording, the sculptures use contemporary artistic expression to open questions about Africa’s role in the global problem of growing waste. The exhibition is also identified as being realized with support from Nestlé.
The announcement places 'Reci: SculptUra' within a packed August schedule at the Museum of African Art, which is offering several public programs alongside the exhibition. These include Sunday guided visits for adults and children’s workshops, a free program for pensioners, a summer program for secondary school students, and a tactile exhibition tour. The newsletter presents 'Reci: SculptUra' as one of the main continuing displays available to visitors throughout the season.
According to the museum’s English newsletter, Sunday public program sessions run on August 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30 at 11 a.m., with guided visits for adults and parallel curator-led workshops for children aged 6 to 12. The adult visits are linked to 'Reci: Art – Waste as Resource', while the children’s workshop is titled 'Recycling Preserves and Creates: The Colorful World of African Animals'. Registration is required by email and admission is listed at 300 dinars.
The garden display itself runs on a longer timetable than the August events around it. The newsletter states that 'Reci: SculptUra' is on view from May 21 through September 15 in the Museum’s garden, and the Serbian-language version specifies that it accompanies the thematic exhibition 'Reci: Art – Waste as Resource'. The museum notes that visitors will be able to see the three sculptures by the young artists during that period.
The same newsletter also points to other educational and access-oriented programs in August, including a free program for pensioners titled 'MAU for All, All at MAU – Filafani: Textiles of the Senufo People' on August 6, and 'Colors of Africa', a free summer program for secondary school students with ceramic workshops from August 17 to 21 and graphic workshops from August 24 to 28. The month closes with a tactile tour, 'See, Touch, Feel...', on August 29 at 1 p.m., designed for visitors with visual impairments and for others interested in experiencing selected objects of African art through touch.
For 'Reci: SculptUra', the verified details remain focused on the setting, dates and artistic framing: three sculptures by Petar Božović, Marko Blanuša and Damjan Božović, installed in the Museum of African Art garden in Belgrade from May 21 to September 15 as part of 'Reci: Art – Waste as Resource'.
