Under the motto "Together Again", the “House of Mexican Art” in the Old Town of Plovdiv attracts visitors with works by Krasimir Slabakov, Maria Slabakova and their son Stefan. For the first time the family has organised a joint exhibition in Plovdiv alongside the permanent exhibition of renowned Bulgarian artist Tsanko Lavrenov (1896 - 1978). The family exhibition is located in one of the halls of the so-called Mexican House. Visitors can see wood carving works by Krasimir,  jewelry by Maria and paintings by Stefan. Although they have lived and worked in the USA for some time, the family have preserved the spirit of Bulgarian culture. With their "Together Again" exhibition, the artists send a message to the audience that unity and love in the family are the future and strength of Bulgaria.

The exhibition can be seen until August 26 and is part of the program of Plovdiv - European Capital of Culture 2019.
