This is a big month for art and Bulgaria!
Voices and Images from Bulgaria, an exhibition of photographs and recordings collected by Martin Koenig, opens at Jack Straw New Media Gallery in the University District this Friday.
Over 45 years ago, dance ethnographer and cultural specialist Martin Koenig embarked on a trip to Bulgaria armed with a letter of introduction from Margaret Mead. In this initial trip and on several subsequent visits he traveled throughout the country filming, recording, and photographing the lively yet endangered aspects of the traditional culture he observed.
