Water Tower Art Festival (WTAF) is an initiative started only with a few people in Sofia encompassing ideas of art, creativity, urban renewal and alternative art spaces.
Gradually it became an international event gathering artists form around the world that came together as independent entities representing their individual style and search for mutual understanding and cosmopolitanism in the face of widely spread apathy and unwillingness to cooperate.
The motivation has been a major point to all of us - to communicate freely on the basis of artistic expression within spaces that allow our imagination to run wild and at the same time reflect upon history and architecture, social and other issues as well as urban habitat- to find our own place within a particular city structure.
The places inspired us and gave direction to the format which the festival took shape and form - through communication. We felt that by doing this we have the will power to change our own surrounding where we live, how we communicate with space and transcend the past and future in a way possible only through art with direct response to the social environment, transcribing histories, memories, textures and functions into art.
It is an an injection of international creative thinking of alternative spaces in Eastern Europe. "We believe that art has a function in the society and we delegate that function back to it.
