Sold Out Design/ Untitled Gallery invites three women artists to showcase their work at the third edition of BUNA festival Varna, Amsterdam-based Mariana Tantcheva, Berlin-based, Ukrainian artist and researcher Daria Syvakos and actor, dancer and performer Elitsa Mateva. They all engage with nature—not just as inspiration, but as a site of resistance, healing, memory, and transformation. Living Systems is an immersive, multi-sensory exhibition exploring the interconnectedness of ecosystems, the human impact on the environment, and the pathways to sustainable coexistence. The exhibition balances art, performance and storytelling to make personal and urgent experiences visible to wider audiences.
