Kala is proud to host Borjana Ventzislavova from Bulgaria as a 2009 CEC ArtsLink Fellow. The CEC ArtsLink Residency Program places artists and arts managers from Central/Eastern Europe, Russia and Eurasia as ArtsLink Fellows at U.S. arts organizations for five-week residencies.

Borjana Ventzislavova is a visual artist based in Sofia and Vienna. She graduated in visual media art / digital art at the University for Applied Arts, Vienna (2005). She works in the fields of photography, film/ video, installation and new media, addressing issues such as identity and marginalization of individuals, as well as different social groups, migration and cohabitation. In a broader sense, everyday connections and social relations play a central role in her work. Her work has been exhibited internationally in solo and group shows as well as in media art and film festivals.
