The Power of Literature Against Violence

On June 20th at 6:30 PM, the Center for Contemporary Art and Library in Burgas will host a significant literary event – the presentation of the short story collection "To Raise… a Wound". The project, realized with the support of the Ministry of Culture, goes beyond the boundaries of literature, becoming a cause.

"When violence is named, empathy heals, and collective good leads to change."

Who are the authors and participants?

  • Authors: Slava Georgieva, Petya Georgieva-Koleva, Galina Cholakova, and Marisiana Vlasheva-Mihailova.
  • Moderator: Lyubov Dincheva – literary critic and poet.
  • Special guest: Writer Zdravka Evtimova, who supports the mission of the book with her authority.

Why attend the event?

The book explores the topic of violence without borders – regardless of gender, age, or social status. The main goal is to break the silence. It is important to note that the proceeds from the book sales will be donated to foundations working to support victims of violence. Admission is free.
