site.bta"Bulgaria. Innovations And Traditions" Exhibition Opens in Shumen
An exhibition entitled Bulgaria. Innovations and Traditions was opened on Tuesday at the Elena Karamihailova Gallery in Shumen. The opening ceremony was attended by Gallery Director Deyan Evtimov, Shumen Mayor Prof Hristo Hristov and the Shumen Symphony Orchestra, as well as the authors of the exhibition, Daniela and Todor Todorov.
Hristov thanked the authors for choosing to present the exhibition in Shumen as the first location in Bulgaria, adding that this is the first Bulgarian exhibition presented at the European Court.
The authors noted that they are an artistic family and strive to present the unknown spiritual face of Bulgaria wherever they travel. "Few people know that we have been the home of many spiritual movements since ancient times. We have many mysterious things that have remained in folklore, the so-called Orphic Mysteries, which provided the basis for the entire esoteric society of Europe and beyond. This project shows this, that face of Bulgaria, which each one of us carries in our roots," Todorova pointed out.
Todorov recalled that he had lived in Shumen for several months during the construction of the 13 Centuries Bulgaria water cascade memorial, of which he was the author. "We wanted to make not a monument that juts out into the sky, but one that people can spend a whole day with and feel comfortable in their own history," Todorov said.
The exhibition will remain on display until December 10. It was previously presented in two galleries in Brussels, in the gallery of the European Court in Luxembourg and in the Bulgarian Cultural Institute in Berlin.
