ABOUT THE BOOK

The art book Trubarjeva, Expressions of A Street in Transition, offers an intimate and anecdotal look at Trubarjeva street and the special life that has grown out of it over the decades, even centuries. The authors explore this unique street in the Slovenian capital Ljubljana through different artistic approaches and practices – through writing, photography, architectural sketches, collage and graphic design. An array of people’s stories as well as other verbal and visual testimonials are all interwoven to create this thoughtful and compelling – and visually flamboyant – publication.

STREET INTERVENTION

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Samosvoja Trubarjeva (Unique Trubarjeva) project is part of the Trubarjeva Project put together by a team of creatives composed of writer Jeff Bickert, architect Blaž Budja, documentary photographer Manca Juvan and graphic designer Sava Kosmač. Here the authors combine and interweave various artistic practices – photography, typography, graphic design, architectural sketches and text – to document the life of Ljubljana’s singularly unique street, where local initiatives, family businesses, world cuisine, artistic and activist initiatives, and multicultural social businesses coexist in vibrant equilibrium with graffiti and other expressions of street art, and a lively squat area.

The authors explored Trubarjeva street in order to highlight what is special, at times unique about the street and the life lived and given rise to here; and more significantly, what is in the light of the current refurbishment, merits the “handle with care” imperative.

They’ve collected their views in an art book entitled Trubarjeva, Expressions of a Street in Transition, which is available on this site in digital form, and which, as a fine physical book can be ordered and sent to you anywhere in the world.

If you find yourself strolling down the most special of streets in Ljubljana, pay attention to the visual interventions that are part of the project. Outside on the street are Manca Juvan’s powerful yet intimate portraits of people from Trubarjeva, while inside various shops, restaurants and services are Trubarjeva-themed posters designed by Sava Kosmač. And they’re all dressed with QR codes that will take you to the dedicated website.

The project is co-financed by the City of Ljubljana.
