"The 8th of March" is
a group of women-artists, which during the past three years
was organizing exhibitions, discussions and conferences. For
the first time in the history of Bulgarian art, through its
actions, some of the taboo topics, which till then were considered
to be priority only for men, were "pronounced aloud".
Its membership is not strictly appointed. It varies depending
on the character of each action. This coincides with desires
of the members to protect themselves against all sorts of
restrictions. Through their mutual collaboration, members
of the group are led by their wish to call society's attention
to live problems from artistic and social existence of the
women in the present world. They do not try to fight, or to
ridicule with the men's part of the society. Their main idea
is to display by means of visual arts, the point of view of
the woman, her feelings, sensations, ambitions and views,
as well as her failings. |
