The Consulate General New York celebrated the Bulgarian National Revival Day with the exhibition "Emotional Heritage", an interdisciplinary project with the special participation of the violinist Dr. Blagomira Lipari and the artist Kina Bagovska. The project presents the unique Bulgarian folk motifs and uneven rhythms, combined with classical traditions in art.

Bagovska's selection of paintings and installations for the exhibition at the Consulate General in New York aimed to explore the relationship with identity and ancestral memory, as well as the culture of Bulgarian family traditions passed down through the generations. The music was created by Professor Petar Hristoskov, one of the giants in the Bulgarian violin school.

Blagomira Lipari is a solo, chamber and orchestral musician. The CD Music Here and Now with her participation won the preliminary nomination for the Grammy in 2018. The musician is a member of the executive board of the National Music & Global Culture Society in New York. As a soloist and chamber musician, she performs in many prestigious concert halls. In 2015, Blagomira created new concert series for the Society for New Music at children's and cancer hospitals, as well as hospitals for war veterans in New York State. In New York, she performed music in the Bulgarian consulate and was in the leadership of the "Bulgarian Concert Evenings". She currently lives and works in Los Angeles.

Kina Bagovska is the recipient of the "Ivan Vazov" medal of the State Agency for Bulgarians Abroad, the "Ambassador of Culture" award for 2023, awarded by the Bulgarian National Radio, as well as an Honorary Plaque for "contribution to the development of Bulgarian spirituality and building cultural bridges between Bulgaria and the USA". She currently lives and works in Chicago. Her source of inspiration is rituals and forms of antiquity, symbols in embroidery and embroidery that provide a semantic code for the world.

Consul General Angel Angelov welcomed the guests with the Bulgarian National Revival Day and emphasized how important the work of the nowadays revivalists, like teachers and artists, is, as they immensely contribute to the preservation and awakening of the Bulgarian spirit.
