SOFIA URBAN ART collects the history of graffiti in the Bulgarian capital from the 90s to the present day. The book is the work of Sofia Graffiti Tour and traces the path from experimental and protest inscriptions through the first „bombs“ and „boom“ after 2000 to large-scale murals and the transformation of graffiti into an indispensable part of modern urban culture. In 256 pages, dressed in hardcover and authentic design, through photos, documentary materials, interviews and articles, SOFIA URBAN ART traces the exciting development of the graffiti scene in Sofia in three separate decades. In the book you will find over 600 archival footage, interviews with urban legends such as Nasimo, Ndoe, Vapsky, Destructive Creation, еmircA, 140 ideas, More, Jay63 and others.
Together with the Center for Personal and Creative Development of Children of Blagoevgrad, we invite all graffiti art lovers to the presentation of the first book dedicated to the history and development of this subculture in the Bulgarian capital from the 1990s to the present. At the presentation, the authors of the book will talk about the creation process and present highlights from the content.
The book SOFIA URBAN ART is a deluxe hardcover edition in limited edition. It can be pre-ordered on the Sofia Graffiti Tour website (https://shorturl.at/bkmz1), and will also be available for purchase on site during the event.
Please join us for the presentation on February 9 in Hall 3 of the Bulgarian National Library and Archives at 6:30 p.m.
