Poems in Prints is the title of a multi-year project (2022–2025) that explores the connections between poetry and visual art through the medium of printmaking. The project takes place once a year and includes a printmaking workshop followed by an exhibition of the resulting works. Thematically, it focuses on the poetry of well-known regional poets, which are Dragotin Kette, Srečko Kosovel, Maksa Samsa and Miroslav Vilhar. In cooperation with a competent institution as a project partner, the participating artists learn about the selected poet and their poetry, and create a new graphic work in response. They approach printmaking experimentally, outside its basic parameters (print, reproduction), and authorially, which means that they transform the prints into originals in various ways.

The fourth implementation of the project focuses on the poems of Miroslav Vilhar. In the introductory part, the Natural and Cultural Heritage of Zgornja Pivka Study Circle presented the poet's life and work to the participating artists. This was followed by the practical part of the workshop, where they created prints using the silkscreen technique. They chose a poem by Miroslav Vilhar as a starting point for their work and used it as inspiration for conceiving their prints in two pre-determined colours. The prints were then produced and one third of the printed copies were transformed into originals through the painterly intervention of their choice. Throughout the process, typography was used as a pictorial element, representing a direct visual link to the poetry. During the workshop, they also jointly conceived a catalogue for the project in the form of a zine. All the resulting works are presented in the exhibition.

The project is co-financed by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia, the Municipality of Pivka and the Postojna City Library.
