The exhibition tells the story of the nonuments (no+monument) – buildings that have lost or altered their symbolic values as a result of changes in politics, economy or social sphere.
The exhibition presents examples from Central and Eastern Europe from the platform www.nonument.org, focusing on the monument on Buzludzha Peak, built as the home of the Bulgarian Communist Party. It includes documentary materials, photographs and films from the design, planning, construction, operation, closure, looting and demolition of the monument on Buzlidzha. Cartoons and jokes complement the documentary part of the exhibition.
