BRIGHT FUTURE IN THE YEAR OF OUR DISCONTENT

The exhibition illustrates in complete form the projects Bright Future and The Year of Our Discontent. It all started in 2011 as a series of workshops, activities, presentations and projections on political topics. We shared through them ideas and comments on our social reality and the ever-changing urban surroundings. But our public was also given platform to express their thoughts. Proven methods of propaganda were used - political typography, posters, movies, clothing and other old advertising techniques, combined with contemporary means, so that the messages could reach more people.

BRIEFLY CRISIS IS A GREEK WORD

The exhibitions Briefly and Crisis is a Greek Word are part of the program Sofia Design Week in Sofia Arsenal – Museum for Contemporary Art

FotoEvidence

The exhibition documents the social injustice based on the certainty that the photograph has changed not only people’s perception but, in some cases, altered the cause of history. The mission of FotoEvidence is to relate the human stories behind the cold statistic for murdered and injured in order to draw attention to human rights violations, injustice, oppression and assaults on sovereignty or human dignity wherever they may occur.
