Searching for freedom

This month will be presented the work of three young artists, which aims to introduce us to their reflections and spontaneous inspiration on the subject. For freedom as the revelation of the many, though sometimes contradictory, human beings, of the possibilities to experiment, thus expanding our personal boundaries and freedom as a provocation to awaken us from the dream of the mind.

Mihaela Argilakshka, Nadezhda Ra and Georgi Gerov are THE CREATORS that will be revealed to you, presenting their graphic, painting and innovative works.

For whom the bell tolls?

This is Ina Dobreva's first independent project, inspired by a personal story. In 2012 one soap at one particular moment transforms the aroma and the sense of closeness into an eternal memory. This story imperceptibly translates the search for truth into the interest of the meaningful dimensions to which soap refers, blowing up the human consciousness.

Traveling in time and space naturally takes the author to the authentic Bulgarian soap “Kambana", which is a focus of the exhibition “For whom the bell tolls?” and carries us in the past and in the memories and reinforces the feeling that "Soap has its own soul". Ina Dobreva follows the historic path of “Kambana" soap since its creation in the early 20th century and tells its story nowadays. The project seeks to rediscover a well-known object and its qualities and role in the context of our time.

The author examines the changes in today's perception of values. Memory, purification and the future with their ambivalent nature are of great interest to her, giving a rise to controversy and questions. Can we forget the past and do we really want it at all? Are we looking for shelter in the past, or rather we can not escape from its dark shadow? Where does the direction we choose to take could lead us?

Double Trouble Tele Swing Party

The more the merrier! This time we decided to challenge the space-time continuum and to get into double trouble with Lindy Hop Bulgaria and Lindy Hop Plovdiv! For the first time you will have the opportunity to "be" simultaneously not only in two cities, but at two swing parties as well. We will broadcast live between Gingertale and the halls in NDK and the musical selection will be split between Plovdiv and Sofia DJs! So following the theme, one of bar Спутник/Sputnik finest barmen Hristo Denichin (3oz Bartenders Crew) will land behind Plovdiv's favourite bar as the perfect partner in our double crime!
