🌲🌟 Весели празници от традиционния 180° банкет, където годината се събра на една маса с разкази, смях и празничен звън.
Благодарим на всички партньори, с които споделихме време, идеи и посоки, през изминалата година. ❤️
Бъдете здрави и смело следвайте себе си, а когато се чудите накъде да поемете, разбъркайте картите - понякога отговорът вече е там. 🔮
През 2026 г. продължаваме напред с леки мисли и пълни сърца, с нови формати и иновативни проекти - и, както винаги, на 180°. До нови срещи! 🫶🏻

Полезно инфо за фестивала, специално за вас 😋 На 180 градуса посрещаме артисти от различни дисциплини от цял свят, които колаборират в групи и накрая представят резултата на специални събития. В рамките на фестивала всички публични презентации са с вход свободен. Главният фокус на 180 градуса е експериментът в изкуството и красотата на съвместната работа, а не изискването на конкретен резултат или завършен продукт.
Чакаме ви на общото ни парти откриване “WELCOME TO CASA PARADISO” с @actfest_bg за театър и танц в @clubdombg тази събота. 🪩
Silence heals, as Team 3 showed us in their performance for 180° a few weeks ago at @clubdombg 🪄 Thank you to Marcus Peter Tesch @_planet_zero , Slava Savova @slava.savova and Roberto Maqueda @roberto_maq for this great experience!
Throwback to an awesome event a few weeks ago - Team 2’s experimental project for 180° - Laboratory for Innovative Art Festival 🪄 @ral.georg Ralitsa Georgieva, @kholekaraoke Ping-Hsiang Wang & Gabriel Valtchev at @bobbina_cs
Visual identity for 180° – Laboratory for Innovative Art, 2025
180° is a dynamic platform for interdisciplinary collaboration between international and local artists. Each year, the festival becomes a meeting point for creative minds who experiment, challenge conventions, and redefine what art can be.
This year’s edition, themed “parad-iso,” plays with the tension between parade and isolation — between visibility and the impossibility of belonging. The theme opens a space to explore difference — not only within the context of the LGBTQ+ community, but in every attempt to exist alternatively, uncomfortably, or outside the norms of what is considered acceptable. “parad-iso” is an invitation to search, to resist, and to embrace radical visibility.
Grateful to the 180° team for trusting us with this year’s visual identity.🩷

🌈What a journey!
Last Friday at Toplocentrala, we wrapped up the 12th edition of 180° – Laboratory for Innovative Art with our beloved Videomotion° — the competition for short silent films, with a live improvised sound and noise by the festival’s musicians. 🎬🎶
The night continued with the closing set by Smetana, filling the space with good vibes, rhythm, and a bittersweet sense of PARAD-ISO. 💫
A huge thank you to all fantastic artists, mentors, collaborators, and our wonderful audience for turning Sofia into an open space for creativity, experimentation, and connection past week. 💖
Endless gratitude to our partners and supporters who make 180° possible:
Ministry of Culture of Bulgaria, Sofia Municipality, Pro Helvetia, Italian Cultural Institute in Sofia, KoreoProject (Italy), 3XPER1ENCE, Travellers Club Sofis, Club DOM, Bobbina, Studio Equipaж, лоф.ть, Toplocentrala and Hotel Rila.
See you next year! 🌍💗 Photos: Iliyan Ruzhin @ruzhin
✈️ Yesterday, CoLab° took off from Studio Equipaж, turning the space into an atmospheric flight through clouds, safety instructions, and sound. Between live music, cameras, and drifting smoke, the audience found themselves floating in the sky. ☁️🎶📹

Huge thanks to Pro Helvetia (@prohelvetia ), the Italian Cultural Institute in Sofia, and KoreoProject (@koreoproject ) for making this journey possible. 💙

💧 Last night at Club DOM (@clubdombg ), Team 3° — Marcus Peter Tesch (@_planet_zero ), Slava Savova (@slava.savova ), and Roberto Maqueda (@roberto_maq ) — invited us to sink into a world of water and memories.
Between sounds, stories, and mineral echoes, their live podcast unfolded like a sonic bath — a space to listen, drift, or even fall asleep.
The night flowed into a Networking Gathering with local artista and the participants and delegations of 180° and ACT Festival (@actfest_bg ), accompanied by a groovy Live Set by Vlady Vankov (@vlady_vankov ). 🌊🎧✨

🔥 Explosive energy at Bobbina (@bobbina_cs ) with Team 2° — Gabriel Valtchev, Ralitsa Georgieva (@ral.georg ), and Ping-Hsiang Wang (@kholekaraoke ).
A wild collision of rhythm, voice, and image — drums pounding, cameras trembling, bodies shouting their way through chaos and ecstasy.
A furious vision of PARAD-ISO, somewhere between noise and liberation. 💥🎥🥁

🌿 Glimpses from yesterday’s Team 1° performance at The Loft (@the.loft.sofia ) — an immersive encounter between Nolundi Tschudi (@nolunditschudi ), Phoebe Bognar (@phoebe_bognar ), and Yanitsa Atanasova (@yanitsa.atanasova ), where sound, movement, and living plants intertwined in a delicate dialogue between humans and nature.
A living fragment of this year’s journey toward PARAD-ISO. ✨💚🎶
