"This idea has been on my mind for some time, shaped by observing the political situation not only in Bulgaria but more broadly. In Bulgaria, we are going through a profound political crisis."
"It feels like a complete breakdown of the system, a situation where it becomes difficult to imagine what could still function. I found myself constantly asking what could possibly work, since it seems that everything has already been attempted."
"From there came a speculative thought: what if women were in positions of power, something that, in this context, has never truly been tried."
The Bulgarian Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale features 'The Federation of Minor Practices,' a collaborative project by four artists. It serves as a fictional research lab within a care-oriented political framework. The pavilion encourages visitors to engage with minor practices and collective actions, reflecting on a new political vision. Curator Martina Yordanova emphasizes the importance of imagining alternative political structures, particularly through the lens of women's leadership in a time of political crisis in Bulgaria.
