Zagreb city centre and Upper Town are currently being transformed by outdoor installations by 20 prominent Croatian artists. Called Okolo, 'Around', the project features photography exhibited on building façades, sculptures, posters, plant installations, and even a huge tapestry. 

Of special note are the images by pioneering female photographer Slavka Pavić on Varšavska ulica, a large unfurling quilt by Damir Begović at the steps leading to Dolac market, and a series of ethereal floating sculptures by Ida Blazicko on Ilirski in the Upper Town.

For more information on the exhibition and the artists, including a map of all 20 installations, check the project's Facebook page

Where: Zagreb city centre. When: until August 30.
