The outcome of the research will be presentend at the exhibition on 21 March. Speakers at the conference (21-22 March), will give a presentation on the emergence of myth in the context of culture, gender, politics and religion which is the starting point for the formation of different areas of cult rituals that produce alternative cultural and social interaction. The goal of such research is to look for answers in the processes of many humanistic and social sciences; from history, ethnology and socio - cultural anthropology, art history to the theory of gender and political science. We can not ignore the cultural needs for the realization of the imaginary cultural systems created from the time illo tempore. Taking this perspective, the question of the relationship between myth and culture opens up the possibility of multiple thematisation of heterogeneity and diversity in the historical, scientific and artistic endeavors in search of observations as well as in enabling of creation of variety of intense human experiences (religious, performative, media).
