Exhibition “Volodja has come back”

Continuing with its long tradition of preserving and presenting archival material produced by extinguished individuals and families, Historical Archives of Belgrade prepared an exhibition „Volodja has come back“, celebrating 50 years of creative work of a poet Tanja Karagujević.

Tatijana Karagujević Vujić was born on 26th October 1946 in Senta and her both parents were artists, Stevan and Lepa Karagujević. She finished elementary and secondary schools in Senta and in Belgrade. She graduated from Philological Faculty in Belgrade and pursued her master's degree in the History of Literature. She published more than 20 books of poetry and essays. She is a member of Serbian Literary Society. She received significant literary awards, from the first award “Brankova nagrada” in 1966 for the book “Volodja has come back” and “Isidora Sekulić” award for the essay “Mythical in Nastasijević’s Work” in 1978, up to the latest in 2015 “Desanka Maksimović” award for the contribution to the Serbian poetry.
Exhibited documents presented on 18 boards and 10 show cases, illustrate all segments of poet’s life and work. Exhibited documents include Tanja’s books of poetry and essays, the books she edited, anthologies, books signed by famous people, press clippings and reviews, as well as significant awards and recognitions from “Brankova nagrada” award (1966), “Isidora Sekulić” award (1978), Plaque of the City of Belgrade (1984), then “Lenkin prsten” award and “Desanka Maksimović” award for the contribution to the Serbian poetry (2015).
