Two – Three Beers Fest
The third edition of the Two-Three Beers Fest focuses entirely on micro-brewing and craft beer not only in Bulgaria but also on the foreign scene. The first official summer weekend - 22 and 23 June - will bring together artisan brewers and lovers of craft beer in a pleasant urban environment. The event returns to one of the most central locations in the city under the hills - the border between Kapana and the Main Street so that a maximum number of visitors can get involved and enjoy the quality drinks. The participants are familiar from previous editions as well as brand new exhibitors. The two foreign breweries – the Spanish The Flying Inn and the Dutch Kompaan - will join exclusively to present beers not yet sold in Bulgaria. They can only be consumed within the two festival days. From the Bulgarian participants, the new ones are Beer Bastards, Dogma Brewery, Beer Box and Pivoteka, with the premiere of their first beer - Hala.

TRADITIONAL CRAFTS WEEK
During the last week of June 2019, for the 13th time, the courtyard of our museum will gather master craftsmen from all over the country. They will demonstrate the results of their hard work to anyone who is interested in laying eyes upon some of the finest handmade exhibitions. The artists will not only present their craft, but they will also prove that traditions can be kept alive through craftsmanship.
There will be artists from different schools of crafts which include knife makers, gun makers, coppersmiths, jewellers, luthiers, weavers, wood turners, woodcarvers, felt makers, doll makers, silk painters, egg painters, stained glass artists, embroiderers, knitters and many more.
As every year, the visitors of the museum will have the opportunity to attend and take part in the craftsmen’s demonstrations. Thanks to the traditional songs and dances you will feel the enigmatic spirit of the Kuyumdzhioglu house, built in the Bulgaria’s Revival Period. If you join the traditional bulgarian dance “horo” there will be an additional layer of emotion as the sound and creative atmosphere will transcend you back to the 19th century. Celebration of St. Peter’s Day will charge you with positive vibes – something you will remember for weeks to come.
Our partners are Regional Centre Sofia, UNESCO, Regional Chamber of Crafts – Plovdiv and Club "Friends of REM – Plovdiv".

Shiro Takatani. Between nature and technology
Welcome to a special screening of a documentary on one of the most significant and complex artists of our time. Nature. Matter. Spirit. Life. Screens of deception and lack of feelings. The film “Shiro Takatani. Between nature and technology” offers first-hand inspiration insights and a frank conversation with the master of lights from Japan.
Shiro Takatani is a famous Japanese multidisciplinary artist who combines natural elements such as water, clouds, and sand, with optical technology and video, philosophy, literature and performing arts. He has created impressive performances, interactive 3D water curtain functioning as a projection screen, color installations and many more works “beyond visible”.
Part of the documentary on his vivid artistic creations was filmed in Plovdiv in 2017. It was when Takatani presented for the first time in Bulgaria the performance CHROMA as a part of ONE DANCE WEEK contemporary dance festival.
Across Europe and Japan, this film covers over three decades of Shiro Takatani’s artistic journey through his installations, theatre and dance performances. Takatani and his collaborators (including composer Ryuichi Sakamoto) explain the driving principles behind his work where nature and people are observed through modern tools. Takatani uses technology to improve our understanding of our environment: enhancing infinitely small organisms, showing large scale galaxies, creating an interaction between performers / dancers with cameras and large screens. Carefully selected performances and installations – remarkably filmed – demonstrate the evolution of the Japanese artist's work.
