NEW EPISODE: KITCHEN CONVERSATIONS EP. 58

EP. 58  – a conversation with The Neighbours – an artist collective representing Poland at the 60th La Biennale di Venezia.

Speaking to artists: Krasimira Butseva, Julian Chehirian, Lilia Topouzova and curator: Vasil Vladimirov.

The Neighbours explores the silenced memories of survivors of political violence during Bulgaria’s communist era (1945 to 1989). Employing found objects, video, and sound design, the installation conveys the stories of those who endured Bulgarian Gulag camps and prisons. This multidisciplinary project, rooted in extensive scholarly research and more than 40 interviews conducted by the practitioners, reimagines the survivors‘ homes —the spaces where the interviews occurred—inviting audiences to inhabit them and bear witness.
