Just opened at the Museum of New Wave on downtown Vlaška, the exhibition Urbana Plemena (‘Urban Tribes’) explores the various subcultures which have made their mark on Croatia and its capital.

Running until March 10, the show looks at the fashion, trends and attitudes which have shaped at least one generation from the 1970s onwards. To complement the event, acclaimed Croatian graffiti artist Slaven Kosanović Lunar has come up with a series of designs to reflect the subject matter.

Opened in November 2022, the Museum of New Wave is dedicated to genres instigated in the UK and USA but given their own twist in former Yugoslavia and post-independence Croatia.

The museum also stages open-mic nights and record fairs.

Urbana Plemena, Muzej Novog Vala, Vlaška 67. Open Daily 11am-9pm.
