This March, in the month of women, EMPROVE opens a Pop-up reading room of female power in Sofia Ring Mall - a cozy and inspiring space with selected literature, resources for timely care and knowledge, and awakening art \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n
\u2757 The pop-up reading room is open every day from March 10th to April 10th on level 1 next to the Douglas store.
\nFor another year, Sofia Ring Mall stands with EMPROVE as a partner to reach the message of more strength, support, and awareness to thousands of people. Together with IKEA, we create a cozy environment with a feeling of home. In this way, the commercial space turns into a territory for meetings, reading, and a quiet pause. And for some women, the reading room can be that place of peace and inner security that they don't always have at home.<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udf38 What if an empty space is filled with meaning?<\/p>\n
The reading room of female power will offer free access to:
\n\u2013 the book \u201eSee Me: Strong and Free\u201c
\n\u2013 an exhibition with the visual world of the edition, created by Lada Yankova
\n\u2013 women's literature from the publishing houses Kota 0, Kolibri, and Enthusiast
\n\u2013 and resources for early care, knowledge and support.<\/p>\n
Within the campaign, we will also mark World Poetry Day \u2013 March 21 \u2013 with a public reading of poems by popular Bulgarian poets, actresses, and poets who will breathe life into the texts and immerse us in a shared experience and a live encounter with words.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udcd6 About the book \u201cSee Me: Strong and Free\u201d
\n\u201eLook at me: strong and free\u201c is a poetic collection that reflects the emotions, experiences, and spirit of #WomenSurvivors - the first Bulgarian community of women who have overcome violence in their past, for women who have embarked on change and a new life. Instead of the shame and social taboo surrounding this topic, they choose to turn their personal stories into inspiration through poetry.<\/p>\n
The poems of #WomenSurvivors come to life under the artistic direction of playwright and poet Stefan Ivanov, with the guidance of seven of the most remarkable contemporary female poets in Bulgaria, whose works you will also find in the book: Albena Todorova, Bilyana Dimova, Eva Gocheva, Kamelia Panayotova, Nadezhda Radulova, Reneta Bakalova, and Silvia Choleva. \u201cLook at me: strong and free\u201d is filled with illustrations by the artist Lada Yankova, whose visual interpretations add additional depth to the poems and enrich the experience of encountering them. It is distributed by the publishing house Kota 0.<\/p>\n
\u2764\ufe0f For the partners without whom this reading room would not have happened
