From September 20 to 22, at the Little Main Street in Plovdiv (RaykoDaskalov St), the most delicious festival that promises to provide food for all the senses awaits you. It will bring you into a world where eating is at the center of everything, but there will also be other entertainment around for the perfect weekend under the setting summer sun.
You can't imagine it? Let us help you: you go down the street - a juicy burger on the right, delicious Italian ice cream on the left, hot chili next to it, and even further - an abundance of juicy meats.

And if you are wondering if there is anything to get distracted by while choosing your next food destination at the festival, remember that Mood for food is a place that will give you food and temptation for the other senses.

artistic intervention in public space
author: Kamila Szejnoch
where: Bratska Mogila (Hillock of Fraternity), Plovdiv, Bulgaria
when: September 21-29, 2019
This artistic intervention is a game with the existing monument "Hillock of fraternity" (Bratska Mogila), opened in 1974 on the 30th anniversary of the September 9 coup, or the so-called Socialist revolution, in Bulgaria. The figural sculptures inside the monument also commemorate the regaining of independence of the country (1878), which was previously part of the Ottoman Empire. The monument is reminiscent of a tomb and is also dedicated to the memory of those who lost their lives during the Balkan war, the WWI and the WWII.
The monument is a modernist version of the Thracian mound, it is 23 meters high and 90 meters in circumference. Authors of the monument are arch. Lubomir Shinkov, arch. Vladimir Rangelov and sculptor Prof. Lyubomir Dalchev.
As a remnant of the times of communism, it is neglected, covered with graffiti, usually closed, and the once eternal burning candle has long gone out.
In September, with the help of multi-colored light and sound, the form will come alive and turn into a UFO.

Ever since we got the band together we’ve been on a rollercoaster ride, fighting through some hard times, enjoying regular euphoria, being astonished by our growing audience, sticking together! We’re still here and growing, with 3 albums in our pocket and so many wild stories to tell you. Come and hear them, or even better, be a part of them.”

The Beauty We Share
A unique exhibition of a series of art-books and objects created collaboratively between families in Stolipinovo, artist Hannah Rose (United Kingdom / Bulgaria) and social anthropologist Nikola Venkov (Plovdiv).
The works displayed reflect years of co-creating a space of dialogue, exchange, and imagination. Members of four families worked in collaboration with the Artist and Social Anthropologist in the most deprived area of Stolipinovo. They created artworks, shared skills, mentored and most importantly, listened to one another. The resulting exhibition effortlessly unveils artistry, resilience, and beauty built by people in Stolipinovo despite the challenges they face. Locals still see creativity and aesthetics as an important part of their lives. The overarching theme of Beauty emerged naturally, as did the stories of encounter which tie together the whole exhibition.
The exhibition showcases the results of the process, in the form of handmade art-books, collaborative illustrations printed on silk, and objects that became enmeshed with the personal relations we were building.
The exhibition is part of an ongoing conversation and process between the participants that will continue with a larger installation in November in SKLAD (Plovdiv). It takes place with the financial support of the program "Socially Engaged Arts" of the Bulgarian National Cultural Fund, and with the support of Plovdiv 2019 - European Capital of Culture and FLUCA - Austrian Cultural Pavilion.

Positive
“Positive” is a multilayered image of reality - as it is or as it isn't. Some people can see it, others can touch it, hear it or feel it. At a quantum level, it is necessary to see not only with our eyes but also with our mind. Positive is a project that deals with the power of human spirit and thirst for life.
The project presents a few profiles of visually impaired people in the form of audio-visual installations.
The “Positive” idea is with the help of contemporary artistic means to reveal the real essence of this group of people. Their straightforwardness and spontaneity, their positive features, experience, and unique abilities.
The artistic components are planned so that the visually impaired people themselves take part in their creation. The components have a simple design but when combined they form different and unusual audiovisual environment for us. Galina Krysteva, Svetoslav Cvetkov, Pancho Karamanski, and Bogomil Karkov got involved in the process. We will introduce them to you here and at the exhibition.
The main purpose of the project is to attract people`s attention to visually impaired people. They have specific needs that create differences in their perception of the world, dealing with others and mobility. The accent of “Positive” is on presenting the active aspect of the sightless and helping the rest of the society to get a glimpse into the world of the blind.
The project has a social purpose and a research character.
The main participants in this project are people with visual impairment but it is aimed at the whole society.
The project name is a combination of the definition of “positive” as a term in photography - a real image on a film; and the psychological term, according to which “positive psychology studies the strengths and the virtues, which make individuals and societies thrive.”
