Via Pontica Foundation is organising an open-air photography exhibition in front of Burgas Municipality, highlighting the natural richness of the Black Sea region and the importance of its sustainable management.
The exhibition is realised with the support of Primorsko Municipality. Primorsko has provided several photographs presenting the natural wealth of the municipality, contributing to the overall visual narrative of the exhibition. Artist of IAAP Venelin Todorov, an internationally recognised photographer from Burgas, is also featured with photographs showcasing other parts of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. The selected images capture both the beauty and the vulnerability of the coastal environment, creating a strong visual basis for reflection on climate change impacts and the need for adaptation measures.
The initiative is part of the activities of Via Pontica Foundation as a partner in the MoreAdaptBSB project (“Less vulnerability, more adaptability – pilot remote sensing assisted restoration of green spaces in coastal and urban areas within the Black Sea region”), co-funded by the European Union under the Interreg NEXT Black Sea Basin Programme.
In this context, the exhibition serves an important communication and outreach function, making project themes accessible to the wider public and raising awareness about the role of nature-based solutions and innovative remote sensing approaches in restoring green spaces in coastal and urban areas.
Via Pontica Foundation is the host of the upcoming Knowledge Exchange meeting, which will take place on April 2, 2026. The event will bring together institutional representatives, researchers, and local stakeholders to discuss practical approaches for improving climate resilience in the Black Sea region.
The MoreAdaptBSB project is led by Ovidius University of Constanta (Romania), in partnership with organisations from Greece, Bulgaria, and Ukraine, under the programme priority “Clean and Green Region”. The project duration is 30 months (July 2024 – January 2027), with a total budget of €1,594,728, of which €1,435,255.20 is EU funding.
The exhibition is freely accessible to residents and visitors of Burgas and serves as a natural introduction to the topics that will be further explored during the upcoming meeting.
