While visiting the Intersecting Worlds: Ambassadors and Painters and Osman Hamdi Bey exhibitions with a guide, children are inspired by the magical world of orientalist paintings. They prepare paper pulp using recycled materials and produce their handmade papers by sifting the pulp, which they then transfer to a water-filled basin. While waiting for their paper to dry, children paint on pre-dried handmade papers, drawing inspiration from the exhibitions.

Mersad Berber was born in Bosanski Petrovac, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, on January 1st. He was the first son of Muhammed Berber and Sadika Berber, a well-known weaver and embroiderer. A year later, the family moved to Banja Luka after the city had suffered damage from the World War II.
Mersad Berber (1940-2012), is one of the greatest and the most significant representatives of Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Yugoslav art in the second half of the 20th century. His vast body of expressive and unique works triggered the local art scene’s recognition into Europe as well as the international stage.
Inspired by the great European masters, from Renaissance to Art Nouveau, Berber’s works exemplify the deep, opaque whites of his journeys through the fairy tale landscapes of Bosnia to the dark, macabre burrows of Srebrenica.
