MILKY WAVE:
The Tivat band Milky Wave is formed in 2020 with the mission to move crowds of all ages with good sound. The repertoire of one of the most popular bands on the club scene in Montenegro includes electro/pop/funk/rock hits of foreign and domestic artists, guitarist and frontman Marko Đurišić, bassist Aleksandar Dragojević, and drummer Davor Marković.
PARTIBREJKERS:
Reincarnated several times, the Belgrade punk-rock band Partibrejkers has survived on the scene for over four decades because conviction is what binds them. Irony and sarcasm are the bases of their performance. Through their songs, the street speaks, that resilient one, with the motto ‘freedom or nothing’, and for such a thing, it is necessary to be loud enough in sleep and wakefulness against greed and avarice. Because the fun still goes on in our poor empire, sour and sweet, and so it will be for a Thousand years, all the way to the new Ice Age. The history of Yugoslav rock’n’roll does not recognize a band that has transformed its outsider position into a more fascinating generational sound. Their songs are above east and west, and if you haven’t, it’s time you hear them too.
Tivat Municipality, May 10 from 9am
YC Delfin continues its collaboration with the Faculty of Maritime Studies Kotor of the University of Montenegro, bringing the second edition of the international scientific and professional conference “Boka Bay as a Sustainable Nautical Destination”.
This year, the focus is on two significant topics for preserving the delicate ecosystem of Boka Bay and the safety of maritime traffic through Boka Bay, considering the enormous pressure of intense maritime traffic during the summer months.
Divided into two thematic units, the conference, as part of the Wind Fest 2024, deals with the possibilities of legal regulation of decarbonization of smaller vessels participating in maritime traffic, and navigation and waterways from the perspective of the safety of maritime navigation. In addition to experts from the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Kotor, the conference will feature representatives from the Ministry of Transport and Maritime Affairs of Montenegro and other relevant national institutions, representatives of national maritime associations, as well as international guests – experts from the Faculty of Maritime Studies at the University of Split, the European Transport Community, and the Italian Coast Guard.

A fair of crafts and skills that connect us to the sea.
For one day, Pine will buzz with sea-related activities. We will mingle with sailors from Tivat’s JK Delfin Yacht Club, who will showcase their skills and offer everyone interested a chance to learn the basic concepts, logic, and rules of sailing. The Tivat company UNA Montenegro will present “Meštar o’ konopa,” a workshop of artistic and functional design using ropes. Freelance artist Tatjana Tanja Radonić will bring her globally recognized necklaces made of pierced stones, artistic paintings, and Mediterranean houses painted on stones from Boka rocks and beaches.
The Red Cross Tivat will, as part of Red Cross Week, demonstrate first aid with a focus on lifesaving skills at sea. YC Delfin is a primary maritime school, and the tradition of its model workshop is preserved by the Model Workshop Montić of Tivat’s master and artist Damir Montić, son of the great master Oskar Oka Montić, whose works adorn numerous private and public collections, as well as the maritime collection of the Public Institution Museum and Gallery Tivat. This institution will organize creative workshops inspired by the sea at their stand, led by museum educator Zoran Kruta.

Inspired by the poetry of Miroslav Mika Antić, ‘The Other Side of the Wind’ is a play for those who are growing up, discovering love and lyricism, but also for the slightly older ones, who have forgotten that ‘in the beginning was the word.’ Born from love.
The dramatization and direction are by Branko Ilić, based on the motifs of Antić’s ‘Incredible Sea Song’, which deals with growing up and maturing through the symbolism of the sea and sailors.
The cast includes Stefan Vuković, Marko Rajković, Lara Dragović, Pavle Bogojević, Danica Rajković, Mirjana Spajić, and Lazar Đurđević. The student play ‘The Other Side of the Wind’, which has been successfully performed in the country and the region, was created during the Covid pandemic in a co-production between the Tivat Cultural Center and the Faculty of Dramatic Arts from Cetinje.
