WIDE ART Forum

WIDE ART is the newest project of the educational platform for contemporary art and culture "Art & Culture Today" created by the art historians Teodora Konstantinova and Radoslav Mehandzhiyski. With the mission to create lecture events of a new type and to introduce audiences from different spheres to the world of contemporary art and culture, "Art & Culture Today" expands its six-year activity to a larger format, a one-day event with a multidisciplinary character. 

Prominent Bulgarian and foreign specialists from various fields of art, humanities, science, journalism, as well as public figures with interest in contemporary art will take part in WIDE ART. Each of them will present the most current, vivid and exceptional phenomena, discoveries, problems, trends and paradoxes related to their field of expertise or significant personal experiences. 
The WIDE ART audience will be able to discover intersections between art and psychology, science, technology, philosophy, multi-genre artistic practices, and more.
