Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on May 7, 2023 11:00 pm / 0 Comments

Timișoara (Temeswar), April 2023.   Timisoara greeted me with a few rainy days at the beginning of April, which were nevertheless perfect for exploring the exhibitions within Timișoara European Capital of Culture.

Looking at people looking at art, in Venice Biennale

Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on November 27, 2022 2:47 am / 0 Comments

I honestly can’t say I was taken aback by most of it… but neither did I expect it to be so. It’s rather hard to bring in controversial work when you’re “representing the nation”. Yet, Cosmin...

Photo work: The political theatre season – 2021-2022

Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on March 17, 2022 6:57 pm / 0 Comments

To stage corona. To dramatize shame. To enact maternity. To (re)produce hospitality work. To listen to history. To sing delivery. To have solidarity in solitude.

One of the most complex & challenging projects I have ever co-organized was aimed at children and teens in Marin, a village in Northern Romania. My role was two-sided: 1) Coordinating the communications for MarinArt. A platform for education through art in the rural world. What did that entice on my side? Part of the...
