Project Report | Mar 27, 2023
An intensive rural regeneration year ahead of us

Hello, dear Baba supporter!

How has your almost spring been going? Do you have a more nature-filled place to rest and take care of?

As you've hopefully read in the last letter, we will launch 6 artistic residences in the villages Deleyna and Sinagovtsi (Vidin), Pavolche and Tsarvets (Vratsa) and Oslen Krivodol and Lik (Mezdra). But before the residencies themselves, we have another key activity in each of these villages.

The project includes repairment work of a creative space in each of the 6 chitalishte so that they can attract artists and be used by local people for different creative and cultural activities and get-togethers!

They are partly funded by the so called Norwegian fund operated by the Ministry of culture of Bulgaria, but we will need some additional support since the project money are simply not enough because of the inflation!

And GlobalGiving provides with this rare chance once again - we truly have the chance with the support of many of us to make these repairments the best way possible!

 

APRIL LITTLE BY LITTLE CAMPAIGN coming - 3 - 7 APRIL

Do you wanna support directly and concretely the repairment works of the 6 public cultural places that we've started? You can do so by donation not more than 50$ (100 lv.) between 3rd and 7th of APRIL on our project page, which you already know well. GlobalGiving will match these donation with 50% more.

We have also the support of the Bulgarian youth street wear brand / hrabar of Chris Zahariev and Chris Makarov, who donate 10% of their income for the repairment of cultural spaces in the villages Deleyna and Sinagovtsi!


What's the shortest way we could explain the meaning of all these efforts - to meet urban people and resources with rural communities? To create spaces for local creativity and artists to come to these villages?

Access to culture and its improvement, combined with the newly established human connections between urban youth and rural elderly are the shortcut to a better mental health, related to the loneliness some elderly people experience in villages, and the overall well-being and quality of life in these settlements.
Okay... it wasn't so short. Sorry :)

But it is truthful.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you once more for being around!

Yours,

Yoana and the Ideas Factory team
