The creative program of the project started at the end of April 2026 and is a cycle of theoretical lectures and creative workshops. Within four weeks, the participants will visit various natural areas together with experts from the Bulgarian Biodiversity Foundation. The students will develop their concepts in the modules “Visual Ecology”, “Space Modelling” and “Communication in Art”, working together with the mentors Bilyana Desheva (curator), Velichka Dzhambazova (scenographer) and Yohana Trayanova (photographer).
The results of the work in the Laboratories will be presented in an exhibition in September 2026 in ONE Gallery.
