Mia Akrap at the National Museum of Modern Art, Zagreb

Mia Matijević Akrap is included in the group show Y-Z New – Generation Construction Site, curated by Marta Radman. The exhibition is on view from 14 April 14 until June 17, 2025, at Oktogon – the National Museum of Modern Art in Zagreb.

This exhibition reflects the NMMU’s focus on the work of a new generation of artists working in traditional art disciplines, at a time when the Museum has been displaced from its primary location and the cultural infrastructure of Zagreb continues to operate under post-earthquake reconstruction. Oktogon, the Museum’s new exhibition space – also scheduled for renovation – symbolises the transitional state of a city in repair and the generation of artists emerging within these conditions. The exhibition presents works by artists belonging to the so-called Y and Z generations, who graduated from art academies after 2015, with works produced between 2022 and 2025. While rooted in traditional media, these artists interrogate their disciplines through experimentation and reduction.

Artists exhibiting: Mihael Bađun, Lora Elezović, Bartol Galović, Tomislav Hršak, Nikica Jurković, Mihael Klanjčić, Luka Kušević, Emanuela Lekić, Mia Matijević Akrap, Vida Meić, John Miličić, Alba Miočev, Luisa Pascu, Manuela Pauk, Nikola Pjevačević, Jurica Pušenjak, Josip Rončević, Matej Vuković, Iva Zagoda.
