On April 11, 2022, the ‘Nostalgia Second Part’ exhibition by Kosta Dupchinov was held in the premises of the House of Crafts in Kumanovo. This exhibition featured a collection of 34 photographs, serving as a thematic continuation of his first exhibition, ‘Nostalgia,’ held in 2017. The event was organized with the support of Photo Club Kumanovo, National Photo Union, and the Foundation for Culture and Sports in Kumanovo.
The showcased photo collection captured moments and emotions through artistic photography, portraying portraits of heroes of a bygone era, craftsmen, and their works. As time passes, their works and crafts, though timeless, evoke a nostalgic reflection on the past. These crafts, once integral to many communities throughout history, unfortunately, face decline in our modern world, lamented the exhibition organizer.
