Speechless Reconciliation Shines at ART EXPO Graz 2026
From April 24 to 26, 2026, Speechless Reconciliation had the honour of participating for the third time in an ART EXPO organized by AAMI Corporation. After previous inspiring editions, this time the event took place in Graz, Austria — and once again, it became a beautiful moment of art, connection and shared purpose.
For this edition, we were proud to present two of our outstanding artists: Dana Lišková from Czechia and Martina Trajkovska from North Macedonia. During the three-day event, both artists truly shone. They presented their artworks, shared their stories, guided creative workshops and inspired many visitors with their talent, openness and passion.
The Speechless Reconciliation project itself was presented by Tamara Fratrić, SR Alumni and SR Core Team member, together with Jens Belon, SR Core Team member. Their presentation gave visitors a clear and personal insight into our mission, our impact and the importance of creating opportunities for youngsters who did not always have the same starting point in life.
One of the most memorable moments of the expo was their live painting performance on the main stage, while internationally known pianist Matea Leko performed live. This powerful combination of visual art and music created a deeply emotional atmosphere and showed once again how art can connect people beyond words, backgrounds and borders.
During this event we announced that Matea Leko will be a new Speechless Reconciliation Ambassador, Matea will be an active part of our team as well. During our camps she will lead workshops which she will do for our youngsters. During the Art Expo she gave a session of one of these workshops. We are so happy to welcome Matea in our Speechless team.
The performance took place in the presence of a large delegation from the Rotary Club Ljubljana International. Thanks to this amazing club, Speechless Reconciliation was given the opportunity to participate in these ART EXPO events organized by AAMI Corporation. Their continued support means a great deal to us and helps us create visibility, confidence and opportunities for young artists connected to our project.
We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to Daša Podržaj, Miha Murn and the entire AAMI Corporation team. Each time we participate, we are welcomed with warmth, professionalism and genuine support. The opportunities they create for artists and organizations like ours are truly valuable.
ART EXPO Graz 2026 was more than an exhibition. It was a celebration of creativity, courage and human connection. For Speechless Reconciliation, it was another important step in showing how young people, when given the right platform and support, can inspire audiences and make a lasting impact.
We are proud of Dana, Martina, Tamara and Jens, grateful to all partners involved and motivated to continue building bridges through art, mentoring and opportunity.
