This event supports Sofia and SE region as a candidate for European Cultural Capital 2019.
ReVision is an initiative of Transformatori for temporary artistic interventions in provoking urban sites, their revaluating in the urban and historical context and “translation” in the contemporary context.
This edition is focused on city monuments – places of shared cultural and historical values. Monuments influence and send messages to generations, along with generating emotions, aesthetics and social interactions.
We believe that contemporary ideas should be represented by contemporary methods. This is why our team organized a competition, followed by a workshop for 3D-mapping on the surface of the monument “1300 years Bulgaria”.
