The exhibition, curated by Sabina Klem and Sanja Kodžić Mladenov, explores contemporary artistic practices and the idea of European identity. EVROVIZION is a project of ifa – the Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations and is presented in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Bulgaria and Doza Gallery in Sofia.
The title of the exhibition, EVROVIZION, is a lexical construct built from similar yet distinct languages – Eurovisione / Evrovizija / Евровизия – denoting a fusion of potential unities, a free version of a possible togetherness. The aim of the exhibition is to reflect diverse histories and spaces and to make specific local impulses visible through interdisciplinary, classical, and intermedia works of art. In close collaboration with regional participants and local art scenes, new artworks are added to the exhibition as it travels.
Following presentations in Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Novi Sad (Serbia), Athens (Greece), Nicosia (Cyprus), Tbilisi (Georgia), and Varna, selected works will be shown in Sofia. After the official presentation at the Varna City Art Gallery in May 2025, the project was expanded to include works by the Bulgarian artist Geri Georgieva. In addition, Adnan Softić and Ivana Ivković, in close collaboration with local participants in Varna, created new works that will be presented for the first time in Sofia.
