Street Delivery Izabella Kiskasza Romania Street Delivery was an event series reducing car tra昀케c and o昀昀ering up space for pedestrians via collaborative events. Izabella’s goal was to create special spaces where young artists and community organizations could perform in public. Music played and enjoyed on the streets involved the community in the creative act, creating stronger bonds. Contemporary Jazz and Beyond Vasil Hajigrudev Bulgaria Vasil’s mini-project was an ingenious dual festival between So昀椀a and Novi Sad, Serbia thanks to the collaboration of musicians from the two cities: Dragon’s Fuel, and Beleva & Hajigrudev. The concerts took place in iconic venues that were not originally intended for live music performances. The unusual venues added an extra layer to the experience and helped direct attention to these urban spaces. The Audiovisual Harmony Project Stefan Momikj North Macedonia This project explored a secretive spot in Skopje, located in the city centre within the scope of the Old Bazaar. Stefan and his partner, David Nikolovski created a one-evening festival drawing bridges between the established and the new. The visuals were accompanied by live music composed and conducted by Antonie Veskovski, who created a piece especially for the occasion, inspired by the meeting of old and new at Suli An. 109
