“Cultural Embassies in Kapana” is a pilot project which initiates for the first time the establishment of foreign cultural institute consulates in Plovdiv. For the period of three months – July, August, and November – EDNO Foundation’s exhibition space will host cultural events organized by some of the embassies and institutes in the capital. The institutions that responded to the call are: The Embassy of Belgium, with the exhibition of Belgian comics artist Marc Sleen; the Polish Institute with an exhibition of art posters and screenings of contemporary Polish plays; and the Czech Center with an exhibition of contemporary Czech design, and, together with the cultural organization Pozor, will also make screenings of the popular documentary Biting Docs. The project presents the Plovdiv audience with three totally new cultural highlights; it offers new ways to establish a dialogue with these countries; it encourages the popularization of contemporary projects included in their event calendar outside the capital and poses the question of establishing permanent consulates in Kapana as part of the idea to give Kapana – Creative Industries District an international dimension.

“Cultural Embassies inKapana” is implemented within “Kapana – Creative Industries District” project with the financial support of Plovdiv 2019 Municipal Foundation.
