The photographs of roadside shrines, dating from 17th until 20th century, show an art form that is becoming extinct and the author chose some of the most interesting examples. The exhibition was jointly organised by the Croatian Embassy and the Croatian Students and Young Professionals Network (CSYPN) whose members are not just young Croats who live in the UK but also their British friends and business partners.
