About the programme

Sunset at Bobovac
Romantična noć, Mijakovići

⊛ DVONOĆJE is a two-day cultural and artistic event held annually in the village of Mijakovići on the summer solstice. The programme brings together contemporary art, experimental music, sound installations, exhibitions, and performative interventions in dialogue with the landscape, history, and local community.

The event culminates with "Romantična noć" (Romantic Night) on the solstice itself, organised by the local community as a celebration of heritage, music, and gathering.

The context

Artists and villagers share the same spaces, meals, and evenings. There's no audience in the traditional sense — everyone is present. For many artists, this directness turns out to be one of the most valuable parts of the experience.
