Bulgarian Cultural Institute London

The Bulgarian Cultural Institute London (BCI London) is Bulgaria’s official organisation in the UK which promotes Bulgarian culture, knowledge and tourism, under the patronage of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Bulgaria. The Institute is open to engage in any form of collaboration and partnership project work; with potential partners ranging from government agencies to NGOs, limited companies and individual artists or cultural promoters. The majority of the Institute’s work is aimed not only at Bulgarians, but at those from or living in the UK who may have an interest in the culture and history of Bulgaria. Dedicated to enhancing knowledge and appreciation of Bulgarian culture, the Bulgarian Cultural Institute London organises and supports a wide spectrum of innovative programmes, including the promotion of Bulgarian art and artists in the UK. The Institute’s ultimate goal is to draw attention to the great achievements within Bulgaria’s vast cultural history, as well as to those of current artists and performers, new and seasoned alike. We also aim to encourage collaborations between Bulgarians and Britons, be it on an individual or higher level. We are currently working to develop several cultural programmes and partnerships, with the intention of stimulating direct experience of Bulgarian culture, and its diversity, through various forms of the creative arts and more. These include theatre, film, music, visual arts exhibitions, literature, ethnographic heritage, urban culture, interactive workshops, discussions, and more!
