My name is Stefan Ikoga. I'm a poet, copywriter, screenwriter, and everything in between. I love writing and collaborating with artists across all disciplines in a shared search for new and meaningful ways to communicate the only thing that truly matters: authenticity — whether for the sake of art or business.

9 Elephants
"9 Elephants" was a collaborative project with the Sofia-based gallery Swimming Pool, which organized tours through forgotten or often overlooked urban spaces for art. The aim was to help citizens see the beauty around them and appreciate cultural heritage not only within gallery walls but as an integral, living part of their environment. To support this, I wrote nine poems, each of which became a poster for one of the tours.

Hidden letters
I collaborated with Khan Wakan and Poliforma on a 3D mapping projection on the façade of the National Library for the Day of the Bulgarian Alphabet. I wrote the poetry for the event, which inspired the music and visuals, bringing everything together in a moving (in every sense of the word) piece of art.

Fabri-Karma
I was invited by the Elizabeth Kostova Foundation to Gabrovo to create a piece in collaboration with choreographer Stefania Georgieva. The goal was to tell the story of the city’s rich cultural and historical legacy—its past, present, and future. The result is this dance performance.
