Zaimov Park, behind Sofia Theatre

“Mozupki” is a mosaic-making workshop that creates mosaics to fill broken and missing sections of Sofia’s sidewalks. The mosaics are a gesture of care – a visible trace of someone’s time, effort, and desire to make a place just a little bit better.

The workshop is located in front of Sfumato Theatre Workshop, where a dedicated space has been set up for creating the mosaics. Several locations in the urban environment have been identified in advance as sites for the finished mosaics.

Visitors work on designing and attaching the tiles for as long as they like. They can work together or continue what someone else has started. Once the compositions have set, they are installed in their designated locations. The finished mosaics remain as small but lasting interventions in the city.

Paola Dimova is a student of Art History at the National Academy of Arts in Sofia. She works as an assistant at Credo Bonum gallery and has curated a series of exhibitions in Credo Box, an exhibition niche within the gallery space. Other exhibitions she has curated include Visions from Chaos at Bobbina Culture Space, Boiling Point at the Goethe-Institut and Phantasms at Figura Art Space. She is also part of the curatorial team of the exhibition Structures in Transition at the House of Humour and Satire Museum in Gabrovo.

Anna-Maria Ivanova is a student at the Academy of Music, Dance and Fine Arts in Plovdiv (AMTII Plovdiv), studying Pedagogy of Fine Arts Education. She is actively involved in the independent art space The Gallery, where she has organised exhibitions for emerging and previously unexhibited artists and has also participated in exhibitions held there. Other participations include projects with Artists at Play and Garage (in Gabrovo), the Credo Box project at Credo Bonum Gallery, as well as Visions from Chaos at Bobbina and Phantasms at Figura Art Space.
She has also volunteered at the gallery/studio Embrace Me, which supports children without parental care by fostering their interest in education and art and contributing to their personal and professional development.
