Galina Dimitrova-Dimova talks about sharing care by means of art through two totally different perspectives: one from the young people in the capital and the other from the older people in small villages in the Northwest region of Bulgaria. The first part of my talk covers the international digital art festival DA Fest, which DA LAB have been organising in Sofia since 2009, as well as some other activities of the DA LAB Foundation to develop the local community of young digital artists. The second one presents the residency program “Baba” (tr. Grandma), organised by the “Ideas Factory” association, in which she is involved as a curator since 2020, and which aims to support the elderly people in depopulated villages.

This talk was part of the training school, "Sharing Care" funded by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology), a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Its Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers and boost their research, career and innovation.
