The Gallery at the Watershed proudly presents an unusual talk, by an artist out to make a difference by educating and building.
On Sep. 27 at 7:30pm Yuliya Dimitrova-Ilieva will present “
The Cherga as a Metaphor for a Monument
of Courage, Memory, and Life.” This research-based design project is about a
design of a monument for the saviors of the Bulgarian Jews during the Holocaust.
During WWII, Bulgaria saved ALL Jews residing in the
country. Bulgarian government officials,
leaders of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, and ordinary citizens prevented the deportation
of the Bulgarian Jews to Nazi death camps.
Come to learn more about this little known story and Yuliya’s
design. One question to consider, WHY is this such a little known, yet tremendously important, true story?
Yuliya holds a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Painting from
University of Veliko Turnovo, Bulgaria and a Masters of Landscape Architecture
degree from University of Oregon. Yuliya won a top UO prize for this project of the heart, Spring 2013. Important to learn about!
