🎧 The fourth episode is here!
In this episode, we explore the life and work of the artist and educator Prof. Vasil Stoilov.
The variety of preserved documents, notes, school notebooks, and other archival materials created by the artist helped us to tell his story, relying on his voice and supported by the stories of his relatives.
Each page in Vasil's archive not only confirms known facts and events about him but, in a manner unique to manuscripts, they add to his story depth and nuance — revealing the subtle hues of time and intricate details often overlooked in complex texts written by academics and critics. Happy listening! 💜
