Set in a relaxed environment, these “Salons” will bring together Guest Hosts and Convento guests to participate in stimulating talks and exchange ideas.
Slobodan Dan Paich has multiple ongoing vocations. As comparative
cultural studies scholar, he has delivered numerous papers at
international conferences, as a presenter and as keynote speaker. His
presentations are based on his courses, lectures, and research since
1969, addressing tangible and intangible heritage, comparative cultural
studies, and the migration of techniques and ideas. The courses he
initiated in 1969 at the university level broadened the scope of art
history into the History of Art and Ideas. These courses included
geographies larger than the European cultural sphere, and an
interdisciplinary, across-time curriculum was developed to include
ancient and indigenous people, viewed as differently cultured,
ingenious, and refined, rather than primitive.
Slobodan is a teacher of multidisciplinary arts and has worked
in theater all his life. He is never too far from a rehearsal process.
He has received many awards for art, performance, and community
initiative wherever he has lived and worked.
