The exhibition of 88 Serb Medieval frescoes copies was organized in Basel, Switzerland, for the first time, from October 21 to November 19, 2000. The initiative for the exhibition was private, and one of the persons involved in it, Ms. Rada Djuricin, eminent Serb actress, described for us, with particular pleasure, what had been her personal role in this enterprise.
Actors usually talk about themselves, their own plans and achievements.
Ms. Rada Djuricin is an eminent Serb actress - and, by all means, the busiest one. Along with being an actress, Ms. Djuricin is also an eminent author of monodrama, the last one based upon works of the greatest Serb poetess of the 20th century, Ms. Desanka Maksimovic. We had an exhibition in Basel, in St. Alban s Church, also used by the Serb Orthodox Church, of copies of frescoes from Serb Monasteries. Young Serb Orthodox priest Milutin Nikolic and Mr. Stevan Koconda, who has been the Swiss resident since a long time ago, have spent several months preparing an exhibition as to mark 2000 years of Christendom and to offer to the Swiss for the first time in their country this Serb national treasure. Well, the whole exhibition was much less important than the effort.
