A powerful message from Maribor: Breast cancer survivors highlight the importance of self-care
An art exhibition in Maribor, Slovenia, highlights breast cancer awareness through various artworks created by children, teenagers, and adults united by a shared goal: raising awareness about breast cancer. The exhibition uses pink as a symbol of awareness, support for those affected, and hope. Two women who have overcome breast cancer, Melita Ragolič and Mira Osvald-Mićović, are particularly involved, emphasizing the importance of self-care and early detection. They encourage women to pay attention to bodily changes and seek timely medical help. The exhibition aims to open a dialogue about breast cancer and demonstrate the significance of support and solidarity during illness. It runs for an additional month at the Slaščičarna Ilich.

As part of the event, artists painted the bodies of 100 women, turning the occasion into both an artistic and therapeutic movement aimed at raising awareness about breast cancer, the most common form of cancer among women worldwide. The event is part of efforts by the World Health Organization (WHO) to promote awareness, early detection, and the importance of timely treatment. PHOTO: Ulises Ruiz/AFP. The exhibition, titled "Pink October," features artworks created by children, teenagers, and adults united by a shared goal: using art to raise awareness about breast cancer. All pieces share a pink hue, symbolizing awareness of the disease, support for those affected, and hope. The exhibition takes place during October, recognized internationally as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and its message resonates with all generations. Melita Ragolič and Mira Osvald-Mićović, both survivors of breast cancer, gave the exhibition a special personal touch. They aim to encourage women to listen to their bodies, pay attention to changes, and take time for their health. "Pink October reminds us that self-care should not always be last on our priority list. It's important to be aware of physical changes, to love ourselves, and seek help in a timely manner. With this exhibition, we want to open a conversation about breast cancer and show how much support and the feeling of not being alone in illness mean," emphasized Melita Ragolič. The exhibition brings together different generations and artistic expressions, primarily featuring individuals who wish to convey an important message through creation: self-care and caring for others connect us. The exhibition can still be viewed at Slaščičarna Ilich for another month. Visitors are invited to pause before the artworks and listen to their messages.
