Exhibition “Portraits of Hope”, Build Solid Ground
Habitat Bulgaria invited a group of artists to “translate” the challenges and opportunities of urbanization into the language of art:
– 75% of people around the world lack proper documentation for the land on which they live and are in constant fear of eviction.
– In many countries, women are not allowed to own land or real estate.
– By 2030, the population living in slums is expected to double to 2 billion.
Through the power of art, we wanted to show that every person deserves to have a decent home and to feel protected from threats to their property.
