Association Magna Silva has a mission to culture and art, with a priority to the fine arts, combining them with modern forms such as performances, musical events. Some of the organized exhibitions are collective, as a way to carry out a cultural dialogue and gather artists working with different means of expression - painting, sculpture, photography, conceptual arts. From 14.10.2022 to 30.04.2023, the Magna Silva Association implemented a PEACEFUL TERRITORY project, financed by the Ministry of Culture under contract No. RD 11-06-336, with the participation of female artists from Ukraine, dedicated to the Eternal Clash of Peace and War, of tolerance and violence. The event was widely covered in numerous national electronic print and social media. The objectives of the project were: - Stimulating the creative development of young authors, authors in the middle stage of professional development and unknown authors who have a civil position. - Encouraging the development, renewal and enrichment of cultural life in a sparsely populated and remote area from large urban centers by organizing and promoting cultural events. - Attracting new audiences living in an area far from large urban centers - Creation of works of art of various genres - Provoking audience perceptions through the multiplying impact of several arts – fine, performance art that blurs the line between performer and audience, and film that documents and preserves all these otherwise ephemeral events. - Provoking civil positions in artists and audiences, including through the art of young Ukrainian artists - an inside look at war as the antithesis of peace. - Development and strengthening of the association's capacity to organize cultural events and expand the scope of audiences. In connection with the set goals, a five-day art residency was held with the main theme: "Peaceful territory" with the participation of 6 Bulgarian and 3 foreign authors, including 2 Ukrainian artists. In 2023-2024, we are implementing the "Bridge through Time" project, funded by America for Bulgaria Foundation and aimed at involving teenagers in the history and cultural heritage of Plovdiv by organizing computer tests, historical games etc. We support refugees from Ukraine through the following initiatives: - We organize Bulgarian language courses - We work with children in the field of arts - Legal-administrative assistance - Adaptation activities in Bulgarian conditions - conducting mixed - theoretical and practical - activities, including history, ethnography, geography, peculiarities of the Bulgarian way of life and daily life, on-site visits to major institutions, significant cultural, educational, commercial and others sites in the region.
