April 25–27
SHAPESHIFT 2025 is approaching — a 3 day festival that explores the intersection of technology, science, creativity, and humanity. Join us from April 25 to 27 at Toplocentrala, Sofia.
The theme of this year’s edition, Radical Imaginations, will help us envision a more humane world beyond the boundaries of our current reality. Curated by Magda Mojsiejuk and Next-DC, the festival program will encourage us to seek new ideas and confront the challenges of the present — because it is there that we can find the seeds of the future we want to build.
