I’m just a 28 years old polish girl who is passionate about art and culture. I simply want to make my dreams come true, follow my unbelievable ideas and make it my own lifestyle. ESC volunteering project - Culture Unites, gave me this oportunity. Three months in Bulgaria, working and living with strangers from different countries. But they weren’t strangers at all. We have overcome all adversities to become the best team I’ve ever had. This is the best part of this project – the team. And I do not cry when I write this ☺.
My host organization – Foundation SEED in Hub-a, Samokov, allowed me to create what I wanted and pushed me to make it real. When I had an idea, they told me: ok, let’s do it. My field of creation and organizing events is mostly in street art area. I created art instalations to decorate our festival Lago Fest space with help of my wonderful volounteers team. I always wanted to do it. I invited an artist and organized graffiti jam on our festival. Always wanted to do it.
Made the best graffiti workshop in ma career at Street Art Fest in Troyan, we organised. Checked.
United people from all around the world with my smile and passion.
Yes, I did it.
Spread the knowledge about one street art organization I had pleasure to work with in Poland, by organizing my own event – Street Art Night.
Done!
Organize exhibition.
OK.
Concerts, even concerts shooting in our office.
No problem. Beside it I did a lot of amazing things, met a lot of amazing people, learn so much, that I can’t even describe it in few words. I should write a book about it, maybe I will discover my another talent haha. Of course i did some fails. So what? Making mistakes and finding resolutions is the part of this game. No problem, no fun. I’m so grateful for this time. Part of my soul will stay there forever, and I hope will stay with people I trully admire, who gave me suport and knowlege to develop myself now and in the future.
Thank you!
