Story Transcript:Sl: V bolnišnici je bilo živahno.En: The hospital was bustling.Sl: Spomladanski dan je prinašal svežino skozi odprta okna, kjer so cvetovi v dvorišču začeli cveteti.En: The spring day brought freshness through the open windows, where flowers in the courtyard began to bloom.Sl: V dolgem hodniku, polnem ljudi v belih plaščih in počasnih pacientov, je bila Mateja, predana medicinska sestra, ki je hitela med sobami.En: In the long hallway, full of people in white coats and slow-moving patients, there was Mateja, a dedicated nurse hurrying between rooms.Sl: Njena misel je bila na Zoranu.En: Her thoughts were with Zoran.Sl: Zoran je sedel na postelji, njegova soba je bila majhna, vendar svetla.En: Zoran sat on the bed, his room was small but bright.Sl: Pogled skozi okno je odražal optimizem narave, česar pa Zoran ni občutil.En: The view through the window reflected nature's optimism, which Zoran did not feel.Sl: Njegov svet je bil nenadoma drugačen, potem ko je prejel nepričakovano diagnozo.En: His world had suddenly changed after receiving an unexpected diagnosis.Sl: Sedaj je moral izbirati med bolj agresivnim zdravljenjem ali razmišljanjem o alternativah.En: Now he had to choose between more aggressive treatment or considering alternatives.Sl: Mateja je bila visoko cenjena med sodelavci zaradi svojega truda.En: Mateja was highly valued among her colleagues for her effort.Sl: Kljub temu pa je v sebi čutila dvome o zdravstvenem sistemu.En: Nevertheless, she felt doubts about the healthcare system within herself.Sl: Bilo ji je mar za paciente in težko ji je bilo gledati, kako je Zoran negotov in bojazen.En: She cared about the patients, and it was hard for her to watch Zoran be uncertain and fearful.Sl: Želela mu je pomagati, da dobi najboljšo možno oskrbo.En: She wanted to help him get the best possible care.Sl: Toda bolnišnične politike so pogosto stale na poti.En: But hospital policies often stood in the way.Sl: Medtem ko je Mateja sedela z Zoranom, je poskušala s poslušanjem in prijaznostjo priti do njega.En: While Mateja sat with Zoran, she tried to reach him through listening and kindness.Sl: "Zoran," je rekla nežno, "tu sem, da ti pomagam.En: "Zoran," she said gently, "I'm here to help you.Sl: Morda je diagnoza zastrašujoča, toda nisi sam.En: The diagnosis may be frightening, but you are not alone."Sl: " Zoran je zmajal z glavo, oči so mu bile polne strahu.En: Zoran shook his head, his eyes full of fear.Sl: "Ne vem, kaj naj naredim.En: "I don't know what to do.Sl: Nisem pripravljen na to," je dejal previdno.En: I'm not ready for this," he said cautiously.Sl: Mateja je začutila, da mora preseči protokole.En: Mateja felt she needed to go beyond protocols.Sl: "Zoran, sem medicinska sestra, ampak sem tudi nekdo, ki verjame v moč upanja.En: "Zoran, I'm a nurse, but I'm also someone who believes in the power of hope.Sl: Naj ti povem zgodbo," je rekla, in nadaljevala z osebno izkušnjo o svojem prijatelju, ki je kljuboval težavam, tako kot zdaj Zoran.En: Let me tell you a story," she said and continued with a personal experience about her friend who defied difficulties, just like Zoran now.Sl: Zoran je hlipal, ko je Mateja končala zgodbo.En: Zoran sobbed as Mateja finished the story.Sl: Dotaknila se je njegovega srca.En: She had touched his heart.Sl: Po dolgem premisleku je vzdihnil.En: After a long consideration, he sighed.Sl: "Mogoče je čas, da sprejmem to zdravljenje.En: "Maybe it's time to accept this treatment.Sl: Moram poskusiti," je rekel, bolj odločen kot kadarkoli prej.En: I have to try," he said, more resolute than ever before.Sl: Naslednji dan je Zoran začel zdravljenje.En: The next day, Zoran started treatment.Sl: Njegov odnos se je spremenil.En: His attitude changed.Sl: Postal je bolj proaktiven in pozitiven.En: He became more proactive and positive.Sl: Mateja ga je spremljala, veselila se je njegovega napredka.En: Mateja accompanied him, rejoicing in his progress.Sl: Matejina vera v moč posameznih dejanj znotraj togega sistema je bila obnovljena.En: Mateja's faith in the power of individual acts within the rigid system was restored.Sl: Vedela je, da je njeno delo pomembno.En: She knew her work was important.Sl: Tudi če je bila le majhen del mozaika, je Zoran iz tega mozaika našel upanje in moč za prihodnost.En: Even if she was just a small part of the mosaic, Zoran found hope and strength for the future from it.Sl: Zoran je ugotovil, da sprememba ni tako zastrašujoča, kot je mislil.En: Zoran realized that change was not as frightening as he thought.Sl: On se bojuje naprej, neprestano se prilagaja in vztraja.En: He continues to fight, constantly adapting and persevering.Sl: Pomlad je prinesla novo upanje.En: Spring brought new hope.Sl: In jutri, pomisli Mateja, bo prinesel nove priložnosti za skrb, prijaznost in vztrajnost.En: And tomorrow, Mateja thought, would bring new opportunities for care, kindness, and persistence.Sl: Vse se začne pri vsakem izmed nas.En: Everything begins with each of us.

Slovenian Pavilion at the 53 International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di VeneziaLa Biennale di Venezia radioCona, http://www.cona.si/radio Miha Štrukelj x=0 / y=0 Interference in Process At the Venice Biennale Slovenia will be represented by a project from Miha Štrukelj, conceived as a total artwork and based on four thematic levels and media: painting, wall drawing, drawing and Lego picture. The exhibition deconstructs the picture plane with the aid of the grid as a structural and conceptual basis, where the painting is deconstructed and reconstituted through the disillusioned gaze of the subject. The themes of Štrukelj's artistic practice arise from a fascination with media-manipulated images and expand into the iconography of anonymous urban topography, and the isolated, quiet presence of the human figure. This approach is reflected in all the work, with the exception of the Lego-picture which portrays natural landscapes, a rare motif in Štrukelj's work.more: http://www.slovenianpavilion.comThis podcast is created in collaboration and co-production with RAM: http://www.radioartemobile.it/in the frame Learning Slovenian Lawrence Squire My Slovene learning journey Random Logic - for project 7 Composers produced by radioCona, 2008 radioCona, www.cona.si Random Logic alias Gregor Zemljic & Miha Klemencic are the longest established artists of the Slovene electronic music scene. They have also written music for major and alternative theatre, ballet and experimental art performances (they are collaborating extensively with the artist Marko Peljhan on his multimedia projects) and also for films. In the year 2000 they were awarded the Studio City Boomerang Award (alternative Slovenian music awards) for the best live techno act in Slovenia and recently they won 1st prize at The 2002 RFI (Radio France International) Musiques Electroniques Award for the best electronic project in Central and Eastern Europe. Borut Kržišnik - for project 7 Composers produced by radioCona, 2008 radioCona, http://www.cona.si Borut Krzisnik is a Slovenian composer of contemporary music, based in Ljubljana. He was born in Zagreb in 1961. Born into a family of diplomats, he moved frequently during his childhood, both within former Yugoslavia and abroad, before finally settling in Ljubljana. Living among different nationalities and experiencing different mentalities helped form his understanding of diversity, something which certainly contributed to his broad approach to music. He played piano as a child, eventually switching to guitar and building up his unique way of composing. He graduated in Psychology from the University of Ljubljana, but soon afterwards devoted himself to music. He released five albums: SACRE DU TEMPS (Station Zuid, 2007), A LIFE IN SUITCASES (First Name Soundtracks, 2006), STORIES FROM MAGATREA (KUD France Preseren, US's release: Falcata-Galia Recordings, 1999), CURRENTS OF TIME (Recommended Records, London, 1991; re-release: Tone Casualties, Hollywood, 1998) and LA DOLCE VITA (FV, Lju
