"The Labyrinth of the Brain"
October 2019
It will be a workshop with two painters from Sweden where we dive in to the labyrinth of creativity. Where the exploration of the crooked road is the most important part. Where the process of working takes you in to new suprising direction, to let the intended path fade away and reveal new goals. We'll try to take a step aside from our path and find new directions. To do this we will use/get help from the labyrinth, the city of Plovdid and the participants.
