The topic: 
Reclaim the city. New quality of human relations.

The mission:
Your work field is the area is Women’s market – “St Nedelya” Church – The mineral bath (now Museum of Sofia). You can focus on a concrete spot from this area, which exited you during the exploration process.

How do you engage the attention of the people passing through your work field? How does your action/installation etc stimulates the experiencing of empathy and appreciation? 

What sort of interaction in the urban environment can provoke a new and true quality of human relations in this concrete part of the city, where churches (orthodox and catholic), a synagogue and a mosque are so close to each other? 

How can the playful interaction with the urban space be a medium of a consciously experienced meeting with the otherness (as age, ethnos, religion, opinion, profession, habits)?
