As part of its concept of thematic years, ÚĽUV has recently tried to address a wider range of interested parties whose activities sometimes go beyond the world of culture, and to highlight opportunities for growth as a joint dialogue between institutions and individuals. ÚĽUV devoted the year 2024 to flax and hemp. The objective behind ÚĽUV’s activities this year was a wider view of this issue: where these plants grow, what is done with them, who they are processed by and how. Not only in relation to tradition; our intention was to bring people together, to provide information and motivate them to continue more activities. We believe that exchanging experiences expands people’s horizons and opens up potential for new projects, or a joint approach by people who perhaps weren’t aware of each other until then.
