Vid Ponikvar: Games of Courage

Exhibition of photographs

In the spirit of the French Revolution's famous motto “equality”, the Paris 2024 Paralympics achieved new milestones in promoting the values of integration, inclusion and equality in sport. Athletes, their accompanying persons and fans (for the first time in Slovenia's history, also through live TV broadcasts) witnessed an extraordinary event that inspired the world on many levels. The GAMES OF COURAGE exhibition brings the exceptional spirit of the Paris Games to Ljubljana.

The GAMES OF COURAGE show provides a first-hand insight into the recently concluded and in many ways historic Paralympic Games, considered to be the world’s largest parasports event. All photographs have been contributed by a renowned sports photographer, one of the few in Slovenia with extensive experience in the field of parasports.
 

I love taking photographs of these sporting moments and these people... What you see at the Paralympics cannot be witnessed anywhere else – athletes conquering their own limitations, spatial barriers, social inhibitions, popular prejudices and the laws of physics and biology in their unique, unparalleled way.

Vid Ponikvar, whose career spans more than 25 years, is widely regarded to be one of Slovenia’s leading sports photographers. Vid’s photographs of athletic events often succeed in capturing the game’s palpable emotions, its raw dynamic. After London, Rio and Tokyo, the Paris Games have been the fourth Paralympics with Vid Ponikvar as the official photographer for the Slovenian team.

The exhibition has been realised through the support of Loterija Slovenije, a long-time sponsor of parasports.
