Viktoria Draganova is a curator and founder of independent art initiatives in Sofia, Bulgaria. In 2015, she founded Swimming Pool, an independent space for contemporary art, and in 2021 the Center for Social Vision, focusing on artistic research and community practices beyond the gallery context. She has curated over 30 exhibitions and projects and initiated platforms including Sofia Art Map and the Journal for Social Vision. She lives and works in Sofia.

During her residency in the region, STATIONEN in Svenshögen will co-host her stay, where she will spend part of her time.

Since 2025, the biennial has organised curatorial residencies in the region to foster encounters and knowledge exchange between international curators and the local art scene in Västra Götaland, including both artists and art organisations. The residencies are intended for curators with experience in site-specific research and biennial projects.

The residencies are organised in collaboration with art organisations in the region. In 2026, our partners are STATIONEN in Svenshögen, Galleri BOX in Gothenburg, and Konstmuseet in Skövde. By inviting curators to spend time at these organisations, we aim to create opportunities for new encounters, exchanges and collaborations with artists and art organisations across the Västra Götaland region.
