Greetings, friends!
If you are unfamiliar, here is the project description in short:
Stage One
is about introducing new social and artistic perspectives to a small community - one of countless such in Bulgaria and in the world as a whole. The purpose is to engage people in more interesting initiatives where they live. Our first village is Bolyartsi where a photo exhibition is being prepared.
Stage Two
in Bolyartsi village will be preparing and empowering people living there to continue our artistic and social work through lectures, practice and projects to work on together. One of those will be an album which has been started already.
The Latest News
is we had a phone talk with initiator Valentin Petrov and he said he was about to have a meeting with municipality authorities, school authorities from Sofia city AND the National Academy of Art. Things are growing and we hope very soon there will be a lot of people and institutions involved in what we started EVEN before the exhibition which is to conclude Stage One.
We hope that artists currently studying at the academy will travel from Sofia to help us change the looks of the venue. Meanwhile, other people from other villages in the area of Bolyartsi have shown interest and would like to be involved in such a project, too.
It is still too early to talk about certainties but it seems wheels are beginning to turn and our role may soon be one of maintaining the momentum and suggesting ideas to entities responsible for their own cultural development.
