We briefly return from the silence with Comfort Club #5, an event featuring members of the Amek family, and an article about Bulgarian music.
Comfort Club #5
Keeping with the pattern set by previous issues, Comfort Club #5 is pretty different from what came before it. Alongside the archival interviews with our guests from 2023, we have two academic pieces by philosophers Boyan Manchev and Stanimir Panayotov. Both texts are challenging and exciting, and we’re beyond proud to have them in this issue. Maxim Mokdad, author of this issue’s cover photography, put together a beautiful photo essay from his hometown of Beirut, Lebanon. In March Tsvetan Tsvetanov video-interviewed Alex Zhang Hungtai before his second show in Bulgaria and while a part of it was published in Bulgarian, the conversation in English is available here in its entirety for the first time. Last but not least, noise artist Ivan Zoloto finally appears on the pages of Comfort Club with a piece of poetry.
