November 9, 2018 - The Cultural and Information Center "Budo Tomovic" will continue with the presentation of the magazine "Polje" and writer Dusan Vejnovic this month. The cooperation with the Novi Sad Cultural Center was renewed last year.

Thus, on Wednesday, November 7th, the editor-in-chief Alen Bešić and writer Dušan Vejnović, an associate of the magazine, will present the renowned Novi Sad newspaper for literature and theory "Polje" at the KIC Multimedia Hall at 8 p.m.

The interview will be hosted by the editor of the information and educational program from KIC Valentina Knezevic.


The magazine "Polje", which has been published since 1955, has gathered and gathers the most famous artists of the regional art scene. In its early stages, the avant-garde and new avant-garde expression of the Novi Sad and wider Yugoslav art scene was especially encouraged. From the old magazine, the new "Polje" has kept an openness towards new tendencies in literature and theoretical thought, as well as the continuity of the former cultural space. Today, the value of this magazine is regionally recognized, especially its combination of different generational and stylistic trends, based on the past and at the same time following the current literary and artistic moment.

On Thursday, November 8th, in the Multimedia Hall of KIC from 8 pm, KIC presented the creativity of the writer Dusan Vejnovic to the Podgorica audience. Writers Alen Bešić and Barbara Delać also spoke about their books.
