Before the opening of their exhibition Climbing Into The Wreck at Filodrammatica Gallery (Korzo 28/1, Rijeka), a talk with American artist Caroline Sinders will take place on Thursday, April 3, at 6 PM in the large hall of Filodrammatica. The conversation will be led by Zagreb-born designer based in Rijeka, Ana Labudović. 

At the exhibition (3 – 24 April), Sinders will present several photographic and video works that examine the oil industry in the Gulf of Mexico and their home state of Louisiana, drawing connections to Rijeka’s oil industry and the specific infrastructure linked to this sector. Admission is free.
