The Face of My Neighbourhood

Through a hands-on creative assignment rooted in real places, people, and stories from your own neighbourhood, you are invited to see yourself as an active part of the city’s visual narrative.
I Carry Plovdiv With Me

I Carry Plovdiv With Me is a creative workshop where you’ll design your own personal Plovdiv souvenir, a T-shirt or tote bag! Using letters from the Plovdiv Typeface and elements of the city’s visual identity, you'll compose a unique design and take home a one-of-a-kind keepsake. Quite literally carrying Plovdiv with you.
