Save the date! The Line of the Valley exhibition opening, part of the Artists for Artists Residency (AFAR) project will take place on Tuesday, October 22, at 6:00 PM, at Anca Poterasu Gallery, 26 Popa Soare Street, Bucharest.
Curated by Marie Maertens , the exhibition showcases the works created during the residency by artists Yasmina Assbane, Aurora Kiraly, Yana Bachynska, Liesbeth Bik & Jos Van Der Pol, Megan Dominescu, Anetta Mona Chișa, Kamruzzaman Shadhin, Tanja Boukal, Željko Beljan, Bogdan Rata, Dan Visovan, Delia Popa, Mihaela Moldovan, Loredana Ilie, Ilie Mihali, and Donald Simionoiu.
During the residency, the artists had the opportunity to learn traditional techniques in weaving, sewing, and textile dyeing from local craftsmen, applying these skills in contemporary creations. The exhibition not only preserves and protects intangible cultural heritage but also promotes more sustainable and eco-friendly practices. The showcased works include textiles, ceramics, wood, and recyclable materials, reflecting a unique blend of tradition and contemporary innovation.
Artists for Artists Residency Network (AFAR) is an EU co-funded project, also supported by the Administration of the National Cultural Fund. The residency program aims to improve the mobility of contemporary visual artists and curators in Romania, Germany, Croatia, and Austria. The project is led by the Romanian Association for Contemporary Art (ARAC).
