A Slovenian Boy Dressed As "Green George" During Jurjevo Celebrations

In Slovenian tradition, Zeleni Jurij (Green George) is a figure associated with the spring festival of Jurjevo (St. George's Day). He is a symbol of awakening nature, abundance, and growth. Green George is often represented as a person dressed in green branches, who visits homes and brings good luck. He is also connected to the Slavic god Perun, the protector of livestock and horses. 

Part of the rituals of Jurjevo involve taking Green George being taken to a bridge, where he is symbolically killed (represented by plucking leaves from a tree) and then thrown into a river. This represents his return to the underworld, to be back in spring. The Green George ritual is a significant part of the cultural heritage of Slovenia, especially in the Bela Krajina region.

Recycled.lv Ethnography Formed by Anna Aizsilniece and Photographed by Ilze Vanaga

"The aim of this collection is to inspire people to utilise existing resources in a creative way, while retaining their national identity.

The collection Ethnography is created to celebrate the significance, strength and toleration of nature and a being of a primeval woman. It is a calling for women in Latvia and around the world to return to the Mother Earth. To spread the roots deep in the ground in order to be able to bloom and blossom, protect and love. To draw wisdom and strength from the nation's roots.

The source material for the collection is classical linen and woollen clothes which have been created into garments that reflect proportions, colours and feeling of latvian national costumes. By altering clothes their identity has been changed. Trousers have become skirts or shirts, jackets have transformed into shawls, belts – into crowns. Details from bicycles and Soviet time electric appliances as well as coins of our recently changed currency have been used to create accessories and adornments.

Source materials for the collection: 60 belts, 37 shirts, 16 jackets, 14 scarves, 10 jumpers, 4 crocheted mats, 3 coats, 2 frocks, 2 ties, ca. 2000 santims, ca. 1000 resistors, 80 light-bulbs, 65 keys, 20 bicycle cog-wheels and bearings, 4 transformers, 4 chandeliers, a handful of screw nuts."

Sodnik Rebrica rešil primer kubanskih plesalcev

Plesalcem iz Kube ne bo treba plačevati po 500 evrov globe, sodnik Anton Rebrica je na okrožnem sodišču v Novi Gorici ekspresno namesto glob, ki so jo kot sankcijo po Zakonu o tujcih izrekli policisti, plesalcem izrekel opomin po zakonu o prekrških. Ocenil je, da bo opomin zalegel, da plesalci iz Kube v bodoče ne bodo več hodili po državi brez dokumentov.

Na Kubi je 500 evrov veliko
