Days of Bavarian Culture in Sofia
September 18, 2007
On September 18th 2007 an open dialogue on the theme “Bavaria and Bulgaria: cultural traditions” was held in the Roerich Hall of the Gallery.
The “Days of Bavarian Culture in Sofia 2007” are a contribution to cultural rapprochement within the framework of the 2008 European Year of Multicultural Dialogue.
The centre of the Days of Bavarian Culture is in Passau: the Union of Artists of Lower Bavaria (BBK Regionalverband Bildender Kunstler Niederbayern), with chairman Hubert Huber, and the Pegasos Literary Circle with chief editor the writer Karl Krieg.
In 1990 the BBK founded the Kulturmodell Braugasse, which has been active creating studios and exhibition rooms. These are bringing together artists not only from Bavaria but also from the entire world to communicate, exchange ideas and experience and work together in the domain of art.
The International German-Bulgarian Cultural Society with its research centre (Bavaria-Sofia) has collaborated with the Artists’ Union of Lower Bavaria since 1993, when young Bulgarian artists went to Passau to work at the Kulturmodell. This tradition has been upheld to the present day.
In 1993 were held for the first time, jointly with the Artists’ Union of Lower Bavaria, the “Days of Bavarian Culture in Sofia 93”. Now, again in collaboration with the Artists’ Union of Lower Bavaria, will be presented for the second time an exhibition of the Bavarian artists Hubert Huber, Christian Zeiler, Barbara Proksch, Gabrielle Sankowski, Benn Muthofer, Alto Hinn, Theo Scherling, Brunhild Moldenhauer and Kri Smolka who, after an interval of fourteen years, will show works created during this period of dramatic changes.
