From October 2 to 5, Sofia Tech Park is hosting the only international contemporary art exhibition in BulgariaSofia Art Fair 2025 – IMAGINE. The event brings together participants from 13 countries and leading figures from the world art scene, transforming the capital into an arena for ideas, cultural exchange and encounters between the public and art.


A special highlight this year is the curatorial project "Expanded Perspectives", which goes beyond the exhibition halls and weaves art into the very cityscape. 

Within the framework of the project, four established European authors show large and impactful works, already presented in emblematic places such as the Brandenburg Gate and the European Parliament. 

Mia Florentin's Love Hate Project
Among them is the steel sculpture by Gabriella von Habsburg, combining abstract form and architectural thinking; the provocative ambigram "LOVE HATE" by German artist Mia Florentine Weiss, which poses the viewer with the question of personal choice and perspective; the video installation "Dicotomica" by Italian artist Giuseppe Lo Schiavo, exploring the tension between the natural and the technological; and the sculpture "Spolu" by Czech artist Sabina Knetlova, dedicated to the theme of togetherness and community.

The discussions during the forum bring together leading European museum directors, gallerists, curators and cultural law experts who will discuss the future of contemporary art, the role of institutions and the relationship between art, society and sustainable development.
