📚 Event – Lecture on Croatian Statehood and Culture//monomad challenge

4 days ago

Good Saturday dear Black and White Community and everyone in it🙌📸

On Thursday evening, an acquaintance Sanja invited me to a lecture on Croatian statehood and kingdom, and asked me to take some photos of the event right away. She was the lecturer because she is a professor at a technical high school. She has dedicated the last ten years to studying and finding evidence of types and ways of dressing throughout history.

There will be other lectures on Croatian culture throughout this month, this was the first in a series.

This is my entry for the #monomad challenge

The workshop entitled "Croatian Statehood and Culture" is the first in a series and the program will involve historians, pupils, and students; topics include life in the early Middle Ages, lifestyle, warfare, clothing, and nutrition. Students will write essays on the significance of the establishment of the kingdom.

The photos aren't particularly interesting, but it was great to hear about where the materials for the clothing came from (Persia was the driving force and main supplier of materials), the weaving methods, the types of clothing that were different for different classes of the population, the jewelry that was worn at the time.

The main reason is to remember the establishment of the Croatian Kingdom, and the significance of the year 925 – the coronation of King Tomislav and the mention of that coronation in the letter of Pope John X, when the First Church Council of Split was convened.

To end the post, a two portraits of this wonderful woman who travels around Croatia and looks for evidence of the way Croats dressed throughout history.

I took the photos with a Nikon D750, 50mm lens, f/1.8, manual mode, always RAW, processed with Photoshop Action Black&White3
