For the 16th time BOSH Festival manifests itself in its authentic identity of southern, warm and less bitter taste with sweet and sour admixtures. This time, we glorify the principle of “do it yourself” as a unit of measure for the life of alternative art and pray against lessons to pave the way for the future. We are here to engage spaces for creation, exchange and sharing of culture.

May every evil go blind!

“Comic Glitch Project” – Anestis Mavromatis Paradisis – exhibition of drawings / House of Culture

Self-taught artist and graduate philosopher, born in Thessaloniki, lives and works in Madrid. Award-winning in the field of drawing and illustration, Anestis is a lover of fantasy worlds and imaginary creatures. Among other things he likes to draw courtiers, grotesque demons, gnomes, frogs and mushrooms. He loves to wander in the woods and collect illustrated books and drawings. As the artist himself emphasizes, he is especially happy to have the opportunity to visit Gevgelija and show part of his work, presenting illustrations, linocuts and comics from 2017 to the present day.

“Unwrapping” – Ilina Gjorgjievska (Macedonia), exhibition of collages / House of Culture

“Unwrapping” is a solo exhibition of collages. Combining clippings or torn pieces of paper or magazines as a small universe, in which different elements coexist and intertwine, forming a unique world with new stories and meanings. Visual diaries of personal and intimate transformation. Method of landing. Liberation. Each collage is a journey – from chaos to order, or from order to chaos. Collage is also research. Self-exploration, current situation, urges, fears…what captivates us and what calms us down. The composition is never planned in advance, on the contrary, it is created by itself until the moment of intuitive completion of the process.

Andrej Julher (Serbia) – exhibition of graphics / House of Culture

9:30 p.m
“Along the course of Suva Reka” – Ivan Ivanovski and Damjan Gyurov (Macedonia) – exhibition of sculptures / Amam Gallery

The flow of life carves the earth along the paths of our passage. The sculptures in this exhibition are remnants of these movements, solidified in metal, smoothed in stone.

DJ sets by Martchin and Maggi / Cafe Bar “U”

BOSH party continues with techno and house music.
