This concert is presented by the Center for World Music and hosted at Mingei International Museum. Immerse yourself in the vibrant sounds and soulful spirit of Bulgaria through a performance by Ivan and Tzvetanka Varimezov, two of that country’s most esteemed folk artists. Rooted in the musical traditions of the Strandzha and Thrace regions, their program showcases the haunting tones of the gaida (bagpipe) and the dazzling ornamentation of Bulgarian village singing. Through their shared artistry, they bring to life centuries-old songs of love, celebration, and ritual—music that has long united communities and marked life’s most meaningful moments. Interwoven with their artistry are stories of the regions and traditions that shaped this music, offering audiences a rare glimpse into Bulgaria’s living folk heritage.

An immersive art installation and film exploring women’s inner emotional worlds; what is often unspoken, unseen, and finally expressed. "The Cost of Silence": An Immersive Art Installation & Film Experience May is Mental Health Awareness Month - a time to bring visibility to the inner experiences we don’t always have language for. "The Cost of Silence" is a multimedia art installation and short film exploring women’s emotional and mental health experiences; what is often unseen, unspoken, and unacknowledged, and the journey from silence into expression, awareness, and reclamation. Created by multidisciplinary artist and creative director Isabelle “Izzy” Atkinson, this project marks her first large-scale artistic work, bringing together storytelling, photography, sound, movement, and film into an immersive and deeply human experience. Developed following a painful and transformative period in her life, the project is rooted in the belief that what we carry internally deserves to be seen, felt, and shared. Through conceptual photography and cinematic storytelling, the installation invites guests into the emotional landscape we don’t always have space to express; grief, longing, rage, resilience, and becoming. What you can expect: - A curated photography installation - A short film screening - Interactive activities - Live poetry readings - An intimate, community-centered environment - Immersive musical experience This is not a traditional gallery - it is an experience designed to be felt. About "The Cost of Silence": "The Cost of Silence" is a self-funded, independently produced installation. Every element, from concept to execution, has been created with the intention of translating lived emotional experience into visual form. Location: Shift Gallery, Ocean Beach, San Diego, CA Date: May 15, 2026 Time: Doors open at 7 p.m., film showing at 7:30 p.m. If this resonates with you, you are invited to be part of an evening centered around art, storytelling, and the power of bringing what’s unseen into the light.
