Fresh from her feature as our August Artist of the Month, scenographer Paola Lugarić Benzia is preparing for a demanding autumn season with two major theatrical projects in Zagreb, spanning satirical drama and large-scale musical theatre.

Following three inspiring days of dialogue from 20 to 22 August, the 2026 edition of the Pluartis Symposium has officially drawn to a close in the historic coastal city of Pula.

With the Pluartis Symposium 2026 set to convene in Pula on 20 August, our focus for this month comes full circle as we officially unveil the dedicated feature page for scenographer Paola Lugarić Benzia.

As we finalize preparations for the upcoming Pluartis Symposium in Pula, we are delighted to welcome premier Istrian pasta producer Klara Marić as our official Istrian Heritage Partner. Joining our culinary collaborators alongside olive oil producer Dolija, Klara Marić brings a rich lineage of authentic craftsmanship and gastronomic heritage to our gathering this August.

As August arrives and we prepare to gather on the Istrian peninsula for our annual Pluartis Philosophy Symposium in Pula, we are delighted to unveil Paola Lugarić Benzia as our Artist of the Month.

As July has come to a close, our month-long focus on Tomislav Torjanac’s narrative-driven universe reaches its conclusion. Throughout these past weeks, his evocative imagery and profound reflection on the universality of the personal have enriched the Pluartis platform, offering our audience a masterclass in how visual storytelling expands the literary imagination.

Pluartis Academy has officially launched its newest specialized language programmes, introducing comprehensive preparation courses for Cambridge English Qualifications alongside targeted training in EU Policy English.
