Inherited Skins explores the Bulgarian winter festival Starchevata, a centuries old tradition held annually in town of Razlog on 1st January. Masked performers often men known as Chaushi, move through the streets,in handcrafted fur costumes with large bells, believed to ward off evil spirits, bring health, fertility and good fortune. Locals from all ages from children to elders wear traditional Bulgarian dress called nosia, whose layered fabrics and intricate embroidery express identity, belonging and regional heritage. Inherited Skins captures the sensory, intensity of the festival its rhythmic movement and the physical resonance of the bells, while drawing attention to the symbolic weight of the garments. The work reflects on the identity, memory and the importance of preserving cultural traditions.
