The Cart of Commons

When?
15 July 2026, 5:00-8:00 PM
Where? Krasno Selo Market, Sofia, Bulgaria

The Cart of Commons is an urban intervention project using a merchant cart as a mobile performance installation to explore non-monetary trade within the Krasno Selo Market. Through interviews and field research, the project maps the informal communication, care and exchange that exist between the people, and often beneath the structures of monetary trade. The cart will serve as a platform for collecting and sharing verbal testimonies, object exchange and soundscapes of the marketplace. Embeded within the cart, a live radio transmission will be a connective element to all the shops and stands around, activating the neighbourhood as a living receiver. It aims to activate the neighborhood as a living, receptive space. The cart itself is constructed by the artist Kiril Karudov, whose craft gives physical form to the project’s conceptual heart.

The radio program will be broadcast on Radio “Kyufte” https://qft.fm/
