Queer visual histories. Visibility as a premise of equality
We are proud to invite you for a joint event between Rise Out and tranzit ro/Iași within the frame of Iasi Pride that will take place on the 4th of July @tranzitiasi space.
Together, we start by performing a reading with excerpts from tranzit 20+ publication, applying a methodology proposed by its two editors: Flóra Gadó and Borbála Soós.
The reading will be followed by Florin Buhuceanu’s presentation: Queer visual histories. Visibility as a premise of equality, where, starting from the premise that 20th-century media visibility of queerness was a discourse about (not by) queer people, the author traces how queer self-representation nonetheless persisted.

Imagined Organisations: Practices of Artistic Research Moving Across Semiperipheries
ro /
Iași (Romania) and Chișinău (Republic of Moldova)
July 22–27, 2026
This six-day international gathering, July 22–27, 2026 in Iași and Chișinău brings artists, curators and theorists together to exchange practices and perspectives on how artistic organisations face the new challenges raised by the transformative impact of artistic research. The practice and discourse of contemporary art have undergone profound changes with the emergence of artistic research, one of the most important factors that has shaped established practice in the field. Furthermore, artistic research has presented an entire set of new challenges and pressures on the institutional forms through which both state and non-state actors support artistic development. This has not been a uniform development, but one that has different characteristics across various political geographies.
Participation is free, however, in person places are limited, book here by 10th of July.
We provide the bus transport from Chișinău to Iași for the first 25 bookings. All other costs are borne by the participants.
Contributors:
Clara Abdullah & Elena Russu (RO/MD/PMR), Bojana Piskur (SI), Dan Acostioaei (RO), Victor Ciobanu (MD), Charles Esche (NL), Djordje Balmajović (SI), Andrei Morari (PMR/MD), Minna Henriksson & Sezgin Boynik (FI/RKS), Vitalie Sprînceană (MD), Cătălin Gheorghe (RO), Cristina David (RO), Mick Wilson (IRL/SE), Olja Triaška Stefanović (SK), Ioana Florea (RO), Maria Hlavajova (NL), Ghenadie Popescu (MD), Baran Caginli (TR/FI), Livia Pancu & Florin Bobu (RO), Matei Bejenaru (RO), Vladimir Us (MD), Alexandru Țîrdea (RO), Maxim Polyakov (PMR/MD), Rusanda Alexandru (MD) and others.

And What Does the Background Say?
Call for applications / ro /
An ecocritical and ecofeminist workshop led by Zsuzsa Selyem and Anna Zilahi
June 18–21
hypha_etc campsite, Câmpu Cetății/Vármező, Mureș county, Romania
Application deadline: June 10, 22:00 EET
Over four days we treat ecocriticism as a way of sensing, thinking, and moving together with a more than human world under capitalism. Language is our main medium, but it is never abstract: we will work with how words have weight, how they mark and police living bodies, and how attention can be trained to stay with the material and political conditions of speaking and writing.
In the middle of a forested landscape, our sessions will be literally situated in the environment rather than just about it. Ecocritical discussions will decenter canonical human protagonists and redirect focus toward the so called background: plants, animals, elements, infrastructures, and terrains that usually only stage the human plot, or are treated as resources, property, or scenery. We will ask what happens to a story when these become agents instead of backdrop, when the setting starts to speak.
Walks and excursions will be spaces for interspecies encounters and experiments in presence that resist touristic consumption of nature. We will listen, touch, taste, and get lost a little, using these experiences as raw material for writing that takes seriously the beings we cross paths with. Transmedial practices – from cyanotypes to sonic experiments – will help us push beyond strictly logocentric, human centered habits and let other forces (silence, noise, movements, emotions, weather, infrastructure) into the work.
The workshop encourages meditative attention, but also plays with deliberate intensity: there will be quiet observational practices, but also moments of being unapologetically loud. Stargazing is non negotiable – both as an exercise in scale and as a reminder that any green we interact with is caught up in wider planetary crises, just as we are.

Who Is Culture For? Contemporary Culture in Polarized Times
Panel discussion at tranzit sk / sk /
18 June 2026, 6 PM
Panel Discussion: András Cséfalvay, Katarína Trnovská, Dominik Želinský
Moderated by Zuzana Révészová
As public funding of art and culture is gradually threatened by austerity measures and political restrictions, we are once again confronted with questions about culture as a public value: who is culture for, who decides what constitutes value for “the public,” and how do cultural institutions relate to broader society in times of growing polarization?
