Lagera Association

Bolgarija (EU)

Сдружение “Лагера” (Lagera Association) is a community-based non-profit organisation rooted in the Lagera neighbourhood of Sofia, Bulgaria. We bring together residents, local activists, cultural workers, and creative professionals to protect, celebrate, and sustain the cultural and natural heritage of our neighbourhood.

Project Title: Balkanton Lives: Mural Heritage Routes for Urban Memory and Cultural Tourism

Project Summary: Balkanton was Bulgaria’s most important institution of music production for over half a century — a state recording studio and record label that shaped the country’s musical identity. Located in the Lagera neighbourhood of Sofia, the Balkanton compound has now been sold to private developers who plan to demolish it and construct residential apartment buildings. Once the buildings are gone, a defining chapter of Bulgarian cultural and social history will be permanently erased from the physical landscape.

This project responds to that threat by transforming 15+ large neighbourhood electrical substations — with the formal permission of Electrohold (the national electricity distribution operator) — into permanent open-air mural installations celebrating the legacy of Balkanton and the broader music heritage of Bulgaria. Executed in collaboration with Graffiti Tour Sofia and a network of local and European artists, the murals will become a lasting public monument anchoring a walkable cultural tourism route through the Lagera neighbourhood.

We are open to joining other Creative Europe projects as a partner where our competences as a community cultural organisation and our direct access to a neighbourhood context, artist community, and urban infrastructure can add value. Relevant project types include:

  • Public art, street art, and mural projects in European urban contexts
  • Cultural heritage documentation and community memory projects
  • Urban regeneration and creative placemaking initiatives
  • Music heritage and popular culture preservation projects
  • Community engagement and participatory cultural projects in neighbourhood or grassroots settings
