The exhibition features works of the photographer Georgi Bozhkov as well as paintings made by young people with intellectual difficulties from Worlds Day Centre and Blagoveshtenie (Annunciation) Centre when they took part in a series of creative activities outdoor in the South Park of Sofia in the summer of 2015.
