SUVAG Polyclinic (Zagreb)

The third workshop in the "Lem i ti" series, held in June, took place in SUVAG Polyclinic Elementary school.

With the help of their art mentor Vitar Drinković, the students have created their own stethoscopes modeled by the artist's 2015 work "Communication through body vibrations". The aim was for students to make their own versions of stethoscopes which, when connected to an amplifier, enable the sounds of the heart to fill the whole room.
