Our team developed the project proposal in September, envisioning creative activities focused on bringing to life the cultural space “The Dobrudzha Room” in the Palace’s former Silk Workshop.

At the core of the innovative idea for the creative room is the decision to pass on knowledge and skills related to the study and mastery of our traditional crafts.

The bearer of living heritage Madlena Bozhilova – Amin, nominated by the Ministry of Culture as a Living Human Treasure (2021) for the creation of the Kyustendil saya, will, through six demonstrations and workshops, transmit knowledge and skills covering the entire process of silk processing—from cocoon to final product—as well as wool processing.

Two historical costumes will be created:
– a traditional Dobrudzha women’s festive costume, and
– a replica of a royal garment worn by Romanian Queen Marie.

A community event entitled “Threads of Time” will also be held, during which a collective “prayer carpet” will be woven on a vertical loom.

All events and activities within the project will be announced in advance, enabling visitors to engage with the wonders of creativity and to participate directly in the project itself.
