Slow practices of autonomy and regeneration
with Ana Barbu in Uzura Garden / ro /
Saturday, 21 June 2025
Hours 15:00 – 20:00
Manasia commune, Ialomița county
From spring to autumn, four different gardens located in close proximity to Bucharest engage in an exchange of seeds, practices and experiences in cultivating and relating as part of the project Cultivators of Life. Starting with a spring session of exchanging seeds and further documenting the growing processes, throughout summer and autumn each gardener opens their space to a public, invited to observe, learn and engage with the knowledge of plants and their network of relationality. Each event is choreographed following each garden’s particular conditions and contexts, as well as each gardener’s own sensibility, expertise and experiences. The process and events are documented by three young harvesters through different media: writing (Irina Bobei), illustration (Maria Doni), and video (Gabriela Cozma).
The first open garden event begins with Ana Barbu, who for ten years has been growing, in a slow process of learning and unlearning, a garden of biodiversity in a 600 sq m land located in Manasia commune, approximately 60 km north-east of Bucharest. For the event, Ana Barbu will invite participants to read together a reflective essay about the garden, followed by walks guided by texts, questions and sensorial and imaginative exercises to connect to plants and the soil that grounds them.

City of Glass – exhibition by Andreas Fogarasi followed by roundtable discussion
ro /
A project initiated by Desire Foundation and the Căși Sociale ACUM!/Social Housing NOW! movement from Cluj, and implemented in collaboration with Aluvial and tranzit.ro/Cluj.
opening June 20th, 6pm
Address: tranzit.ro/Cluj, Str. Napoca no. 16, 1st floor, Cluj Napoca, Romania
For his exhibition City of Glass at tranzit.ro/Cluj, Andreas Fogarasi is continuing the series “Nine Buildings, Stripped”, a project first presented in his solo exhibition at Kunsthalle Vienna in 2019.
“Nine Buildings, Stripped”, follows a selection of buildings that are to be demolished or stripped for refurbishment. Fogarasi’s work consists in collecting and presenting materials and surfaces from these buildings, creating sculptural portraits of specific places through time. For his exhibition in Cluj, Fogarasi and the members of the research project focused on three industrial sites of that have ceased or are about to cease production (and will soon be developed into commercial and apartment complexes): Sanex/Cesarom, Armătura and the Combinatul de Utilaj Greu. Fogarasi collected fragments, surfaces, and design elements from these sites, which will be or have been abandoned by industrial production and demolished to give way to new real estate investment projects which will reshape the city’s structure and life. City of Glass will feature the artworks created by Fogarasi from these materials, which condense the transformations that take place at the urban scale. The title suggests a particular sensitivity to the frailness of cities and could be read not just as remembrance of the once sparkling, now broken glass of the industrial city, but also a warning to the new and shining reflective façades of the developments that take their place. This frailty is also one of reflection: what do we see in the broken or cloudy surfaces of old industrial architecture, and how are we to appear in the seamless reflections that are produced by shopping malls and luxury apartments?
Andreas Fogarasi is an artist based in Vienna/Austria. His work has been shown in numerous exhibitions internationally, among others at MUMOK, Museum of Modern Art, Vienna; New Museum, New York; Ludwig Museum, Aachen/Germany; Museo Nacional Reina Sofia, Madrid; Museo Tamayo, Mexico City; Palais de Tokyo, Paris, as well as the 52. Biennale di Venezia, where he was awarded the Golden Lion for best national participation.

From Marxist Feminism to Solidarity Economy / ro /
18–24 August 2025,
Vármező/Câmpu Cetății (Romania)
Deadline for applications: 30 June
The purpose of this summer school is, first, to introduce theoretical frameworks such as Marxist feminism, world-systems analysis, and global labour studies to show how social reproduction is subordinated to endless capital accumulation in the capitalist world system. Second, it aims to explore what alternatives exist to this, i.e., how it is possible to engage in economic activities directly aimed at satisfying human needs.
