"New Weavers" is a cultural-adventure musical experience that will take the audience through the Non-hazardous Waste Landfill and the former Textile School in Gabrovo. Through music, the one-day microfest will accompany environmental pilgrims on their way to "there and back again" and will sound the spaces of the abandoned Textile school in three radically different ways.

The musical adventure "New Weavers for Gabrovo" is a meeting in the mind of a photographer photographing art before it was art and a musician giving concerts where there are none. For them, creating a fresh and unexpected setting and experience is key, both for engaging new audiences and for the spirit of a cultural city.
