Soap Workshop
Водата спие, Душманот не спие

Gallery Garden Магаза
Bitola, North Macedonia

2026

With the city of Bitola and water as the festivals conceptual theme, the festival hosted a public soap-making workshop in the Gallery Garden of Магаза, part of the Institute and Museum of Bitola, led by artist and co-founder Dafina Nestorovski. The idea was to have the local community engage and become part of the festival, just as how the locals have always been part of the city’s history.
