WHO'S TO FOLLOW?

The symposium 'Who's to follow?' explored the purpose of mapping out and getting familiar with the artistic landscapes of three Europe Union candidate nations: Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey. Central figures of each country practicing in the field of art were invited for round-table discussions, in order to discuss and exchange insights on recent developments in the field of art, education and the prospective future of Europe.
