What we expect is to receive a site specific project especially planned for the hostel, which is situated in the centre of Sofia in a 100 year old house, built by an Israeli merchandiser; it is situated right at the boarder of the city wall of the ancient http://heritage-key.com/site/serdica-fortress">Serdika fortress. The style of its architecture is compliant with the typical Sofia architecture of 1900s Vienna style. The hostel was founded in 2009, with the aim of hosting in comfortable place travellers, where they can meet and communicate as well as explore the city of Sofia.
In 2011 http://www.lavelehostel.com/?l=bg&PHPSESSID=11113171c0d007f85836ed81f87a97b1">Lavele Hostel was partner to http://www.watertowerartfest.com/english.php">WTAF and hosted most of its artists amongst which Jan Doms, Sara Kunkler, Tommy Ting, Paraic Leahy, and many more.
A notion shared with the owner of hostel Mario Milanov is a library, it may be used as a theme.
This year we are including it in the programme of the festival from 23 – 30 June, where we plan to have a musical performance on spot and other events.
This year WTAF follows the white rabbit
