Playground Detroit is proud to present multi-media artist, Dessislava Terzieva, in her first solo exhibition this Tuesday, November 10. Terzieva has roots in Detroit, being that she received a BFA in Political Science and went to Wayne State University’s law school for one year. She has always been passionate about political and social issues and has found an innovative way to make them more expressive by “expanding on them through art.”

To open the dialogue and create a new way of thinking about political and social issues, Terzieva chose to communicate via art rather than communicating in “the system in which they already exist.” Terzieva started her artistic journey only four years ago with collage, and has grown leaps and bounds to where she is today. She has developed and created these collages that give items a newfound importance that can allow for open communication in this 360-degree, immersive experience.

Terzieva was inspired by drug busts, dollar stores, and the motor oil bottle aisles at Meijer. Based on these sources of inspiration, she has created a political statement presenting the layout of confiscated items, the topic of [dis]organized chaos, and excess. She hopes that the audience will immerse themselves in this piece and be able to consider their own views of spirituality once they walk through installation and arrives at an altar.

Gather up some friends to enjoy a Tuesday night of analyzing an installation while having open conversations about spirituality, excess, and chaos in our world. The opening reception for this exhibit is from 6 from 8 p.m. at The Playground, located at 1535 Sixth St., 3rd Floor, in Detroit. At this reception, you have the chance to be some of the first viewers of this piece of work that has transformed the space into a gift shop of an ancient cathedral that was owned by a revolutionary
