The topic is Great, But Late? – A Battlefield of Dialectics Between Form and Sensitivity. The abbreviation of Sofia Art Week, SAW, is the past tense of ‘seeing’ or ‘to see’. It also refers to a tool made up of a tough blade designed to cut through material such as wood, metal or stone. It is these meanings that form the questions open for discussion: what do we need to witness in order to arrive or relate to the question of the Act? What do we need to lose/chop/cut/extract, in order to see through, and truly begin? Starting from the new meanings evoked by the dialectics between seeing and believing, a common ground of discussion wants to be established: which is more valid as a truth, what someone tells you, or what you experience by doing?
