While conceiving the Mediterranean Diary exhibition I became attracted to the stories about Zverinac, an island in the Croatian archipelago, that my father, Branko Škifić, has been posting on social media for several years. As in a personal diary, he deals with small things. He tells stories about the people around him, those who are no more, stories about his island, the sea, fish, wine ... family. With these stories, he rescues from oblivion what has already been largely forgotten. These simple and sincere memories of the past and testimonies of the present are about to be published as a book of chronicles entitled "Zverinac Stories" by Branko Škifić.
