SANCTUARIES – еxhibition by Dimitar Solakov
In the exhibition "Sanctuaries", the artist Dimitar Solakov talks about a possible future of the world. No white caps of glaciers, no vast frozen land, no nature, a world where global warming has finally happened. The earth is no longer habitable, so the human species sets off to new planets in search of refuge.

• OBJECTS OF HEAVINESS • solo exhibition of Alexander Lazarkov
The young visual artist questions the notion of "weight" both physically and metaphorically-psychologically. To what extent are we dependent on physical phenomena, to what extent do we recognize them and how clear is our relationship with them? The works are the result of numerous experiments with materials, techniques and the challenges of their (im)possible interactions. As an inventor, Alexander Lazarkov is leading us on the path of unsuspected certainty.
LOOK – Ecology and Technology
Exhibition Project in four galleries - AROSITA, DEPOO, LITTLE BIRD PLACE, CHARTA
BIO CENTER – Exhibition of Kaliya Kalacheva
"The Bio Center has become a laboratory for my research. These are pieces of the everyday, waves of life, imaginary spaces, real shapes, abstract realities or just a sense of forest. And so, the terms bio and center became synonyms, because they indirectly and directly mean life, activity, scope, plot, appearance."
BEYOND THE CANON . Solo exhibition of Lyuben Domozetski
The exhibition brings together artworks created over the past 5 years and demonstrates the line of development from scientific illustration to pieces of art difficult to classify in any particular direction.

With this project the artist completes a cycle of paintings created and shown throughout the year. Alongside artworks in various media, Nora will present her first catalogue, showcasing her creative output in 2021.
Frames of Reference
The newly established tradition of Little Bird Place dictates that we send the year off with a group concept exhibition. So, at the end of the 21st year of the 21st century, 21 artists were invited by Antoaneta Quick to create in antique frames from the private collection of Boris Ivanov, without, however, expecting the authors to 'fit' in them.
MOMENTS OF BRIEF BALANCE
In this exhibition, Lyoudmila Milanova is interested in the manoeuvring between transitional conditions. In processes of transformation, she looks for moments of even a brief "balance" and "equilibration" in a general sense, working not with theory or philosophy, but observing and analysing changes in the state of matter, mists and evaporation, bodily sensations, and even emotional states.
NATURE TAKES BACK
Through the works of Eli Joteva, Martin Penev and Stela Vasileva, the exhibition presents psychological portraits of the human species in its communication with nature, it traces the endangered balance between the concern for our own existence and the protection of our environment.
Bodies of Land . Zachari Logan
The current show presents 14 artworks, some of which have been created especially for Little Bird Place. These works represent milestones in Zachari Logan’s art – the depiction of the male body, the self-portrait as an expression of particular ideas, queer subjects, sexuality, social stereotypes, human presence. In addition to this, the artist has decided to create a series of images on the walls of the gallery. Including the wall drawing into the show adds to its exciting and unexpected artistic choices.
Thorny Summer
The "Thorny Summer" exhibition presents four artists based in Berlin - Vikenti Komitski, Jazoo Yang, Francisco Montoya Cazarez and Ties Ten Bosch. Different by origin and authorial pursuits, they are united by the free-thinking of the contemporary Berlin scene, which has become a focal point of their careers and acquaintances.
Figure 1.A. – THE ART OF SCIENCE

BLOOM – solo exhibition of Lyuben Domozetski
Bloom exhibition follows, in a way, that same thread of semantics and genre characteristics seen in Lyuben Domozetski’s debut solo exhibition: this is the scientific illustration and the experiment with it. But it is namely in these experiments, which are the centre of the exhibition, that something new seems to be sneaking in, something different from the ones last year: this is the human presence. The exhibition includes older works as well as such that are site-specific and especially conceived for the current project.
20х20 TRANS FORMAT / ТРАНС ФОРМАТ

CHANGE THE SCENERY! – solo exhibition by Kaliya Kalacheva
Exhibition of the latest painting experiments of Kaliya Kalacheva. Well known for her work with the urban environment and its strict constructions, in recent years the artist has become increasingly tempted by the transition to the natural and the multi-layered dimensions of the landscape. Kaliya suggests a different idea for landscape. It raises the question of the need to "change the landscape" - one of the oldest genres in art, which requires constant updating to be able to keep up with the present.

CO-EXPERIENCING THE WILD – photography exhibition by Bogdan Boev and Ivaylo Zafirov
CO-EXPERIENCING THE WILD is a long-term project of Little Bird Place Gallery, conceived with the intention to present an exhibition dedicated to wildlife photography every year. Bogdan Boev and Ivaylo Zafirov’s photography has a special place in this increasingly distinct genre, and the names of the two authors have long been well known in the community of wildlife photographers. Combining the two authors in an exhibition is a great opportunity to dive into this world. The presented photographs show a part of the extremely diverse nature of the Balkans - one, fortunately, still relatively preserved territory of the European continent.
