The third edition of the Festival for Illustration and Graphics (FIG.) opens in Sofia, themed "There must be some mistake", the organizers announced Monday.
In today's world of social and economic dogmas, an occasional mistake can often show us things from a new perspective and open up new possibilities, which is why FIG. invites us to accept mistakes as something necessary and beneficial, the organizers say.
Two group exhibitions, one solo exhibition, a series of workshops, film screenings, talks, a performative dinner, a book launch, a print bazaar are some of the events included in the festival programme.
The 2023 edition of the festival has for the first time both Bulgarian and international participants.
The festival opens on March 24 with a group exhibition entitled A Typo in the Book of the Self at the KO-OP Gallery in Sofia.
On March 25, the first of two workshops for children will take place at Sito Studio, and later a performative dinner "Cuisine (DU) Terror" with Vietnamese artist Trang Ha and live illustration by Alina Papazova.
On March 26 at Bobbina Cultural Space, the global film organization for women, trans and non-binary people, Girls in Film, will present a selection of short animated films.
