It is called ‘Magazia 1’ and for decades it provides shelter for the valuables that enter and exit Burgas Port. Magazia’32 will be the symbolic treasury of ideas for the Burgas’ application in the first phase of the European Capital of Culture 2032 initiative.
There are five themes for the open call:
- No One Left Behind
- Nature to Culture to Nature
- Liquid Border(s)
- InSitu - InSites - InSights
- Guardians of the Soul
