About us
KIPHAIV
Association for Contemporary Art
Mission
KIPHAIV supports contemporary art, literature, and performance in Bulgaria. We work with artists, writers, musicians, and creators across all fields — organizing exhibitions, seminars, publishing, and site-specific installations. We believe art builds communities and opens dialogue.
History
The association was registered in Sofia in 2024 with the idea of building an independent platform for contemporary artistic expression. Its founders — Kiril Kiryakov, Ivo Radev, and Stefan Andreev — bring together experience in visual art, theory, and performance to create a space for bold and provocative projects.
Since its founding, KIPHAIV has organized exhibitions in Sofia and abroad, poetry book presentations, and installations with living sculptures — drawing a diverse audience and new artistic voices.
