Exhibition of Posters by Students from the National Academy of Arts
Opening: November 30, 5:30 PM, Hall 7
Duration: November 30, 2023 – February 29, 2024
The exhibition ‘International Year of the Nameless Finger’ presents unique solutions on the theme by 34 students specializing in ‘Poster and Visual Communication’ at the National Academy of Arts, branches in Sofia and Burgas. The humorous posters find their place anywhere and specifically in the Museum of Humor and Satire in Gabrovo.
The exhibition’s theme explores the nameless finger and its unjust neglect over the years. Provoked by this, their teacher Prof. Georgi Yankov decides to challenge his students by presenting them with the task of addressing this ‘problem.’ The National Academy of Arts students created 34 satirical posters, giving new names to this forgotten finger. In their concepts, they seek a contemporary and unburdened interpretation of the ‘sensitive issue,’ demonstrating the importance of the nameless finger in the end.
The new names can be divided into practical, comical, and creative categories. How would you name the nameless finger?
The participating students in the exhibition are:
Adelina Zlatareva, Akseniya Avramova, Alexandra Mitova, Ana Ivanova, Anna-Maria Adamova, Afrodita Sarieva, Ashkan Sedat, Bozhidara Dimitrova, Valeri Dimitrov, Venelina Petkova, Ventsislav Nanov, Viktoria Ilieva, Gabriel Petrov, Gergana Yankova, Desislava Fuchedzhieva, Elena Gencheva, Ivan Petrov, Ivana Angelova, Ivett Petrova, Iliana Ilcheva, Yoan Yotov, Kristiyan Dimitrov, Lyuboslav Boyanov, Mina Dicheva, Monika Radeva, Nikol Stoykova, Prolet Borisova, Radina Simeonova, Ralitsa Vuleva, Rossena Todorova, Simeon Dimitrov, Stefani Atanasova, Tea Micheva, and Yana Dobreva.”
