Cultural Workers of L’Internationale mark International Day of Solidarity with the People of Palestine
On 28 and 29 November 2025, we the cultural workers of L’Internationale, a European confederation of museums, universities and arts organisations, are marking International Day of Solidarity with the People of Palestine with our friends and allies.
We are outraged and devastated by the relentless suffering, killing and dehumanisation of the Palestinian people, despite the so-called ceasefire. We see the complete destruction and looting of Gaza’s cultural infrastructure, including the annihilation of museums and cultural sites. As cultural workers, we struggle to continue our work in a time when basic rights and respect for life are ignored and constantly under attack.
We join the international call for solidarity with Palestinians. We must heed the call of Palestinians and raise our voices. We must keep the conversation alive, sustain the boycott, and pressure our governments to disinvest and impose sanctions. To the Palestinian people we say: You are not alone. The world is bearing witness.

Areej Ashhab: On Material Losses and Returns /
Friday, 28 November 2025, 6-8 pm
Rezidența9, Ion Luca Caragiale 32, Bucharest
Across Palestine’s hills and valleys, plants, soil and stone hold memory both materially and intergenerationally: the prickly-pear hedges that redraw erased village boundaries, remnants of lime pits that once held fires for transforming stone into plaster, or the scattered earths of construction sites once kneaded and shaped into everyday objects. While these materials might fade into the background, they carry the imprints of loss as well as the capacities for return.
In this talk, Areej Ashhab reflects on how her work with land-based collectives and material practices cultivates ecologies of continuity—ways of working that persist through interruption, transmit knowledge across generations, and reorient our relation to place. Moving through walking-based research, arboreal histories, and recent inquiries into material archiving, she traces how engagement with the land can activate submerged histories, build communal infrastructures of care, and imagine futures in the midst of escalating settler colonial violence and dispossession.

We invite you to the closing event of the project Shelter for collective dreaming / Adăpost pentru vremuri incerte, in which members of ASK (Amaranth Seed Kollektive) will present the activities of the community, the mobile shelters built within the project framework, and the connecting events organized over three months with local and international guests.
The scope of the rendezvous is to socialize the activities of the community to an urban audience and to open up a dialog on transdisciplinary practices that combine art with ecology, architecture, manual work, collaboration and translocal dialogue to shape an ethical and sustainable artistic community.

Eugenia Morpurgo (Venice): Intentional Uncertainties. Biobased materials between caring and extractive practices.
12:00 – 14:00
The increasingly pressing ecological crisis requires design to question dominant production models, moving towards the use of biobased materials and the reorganisation of local and circular supply chains. With my work, I argue that such strategies, based on the principle of substitution, are not sufficient unless accompanied by a shift away from systems based on certainty in favour of approaches capable of embracing uncertainty as a necessary condition for embedding production within complex ecologies. Looking at plant and animal-based materials samples, we will critically discuss concepts such as regeneration, renewability, circularity, and bioregionalism, exploring how commoning practices allow us to embrace intentional uncertainties together.

Mimosa Pudica. On Plants Memory
Artist Valentina Vetturi in conversation with horticultural engineer Maria Raicu /
Mimosa Pudica is an ongoing performative research by artist Valentina Vetturi and various collaborators, dedicated to the study of memory across vegetal and digital ecologies.
The main research question is how studying alongside plants about their memory could inform principles of digital ecologies.

Fabiola Fiocco (Rome): Morphologies of Labour
11:00 – 13:00
More than twenty years after what has been described as the“social turn”, along with the waves of artistic and institutional experimentation and grassroots initiatives that followed, the context in which we operate has entered a renewed phase of intensified extraction and reorganisation of capital, and of the political paradigms that underpin it. Profound socio-economic and cultural shifts have reshaped the terrain of negotiation, while what were once marginal practices are repurposed to serve existing modes of production, consumption, and sociality. In this landscape, inherited binaries and conceptual frameworks from past movements, even the most recent, appear increasingly inadequate to address the complexities of labour, creativity, and collective struggle.

Mihai Mihalcea (București): We walk, We breathe
12:00 – 14:00
We reclaim duration as common space, and we allow the air to circulate beyond the logics of productivity. This is not an exercise of mindfulness, but a form of micropolitical sabotage. I breathe, so I oppose is not a metaphor, but a life politics: every inhale is an act of refusal, every exhale a redistribution of the common space.
Lunch prepared by Diana Voicu

Abundance. Resilience. Reconnection.
with Adina Moise at the Seeds House Garden
Saturday, September 20, 2025
Hourse 13:00 – 18:00
Intrarea Poianei 6, Domnești commune, Ilfov county
From spring to autumn, four different gardens located in close proximity to Bucharest engage in an exchange of practices and experiences in cultivating and relating, as part of the project Cultivators of Life. Starting with a spring session of exchanging seeds and documenting the sowing and growing processes, in 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 the gardens’ 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 Three Ashes
In August, tranzit.ro/Bucharest is launching a new project which coincides with the official inauguration of two distinct entities on the land parcels around the Experimental Station: ASK (Amaranth Seed Kollective), a group formed by sound artist Mihai Mitran, artists Dan Vezentan, Mihaela Moldovan, Eduard Constantin, cultural manager and performer Maria Mora, curators Raluca Voinea, Adelina Luft, and architects George Marinescu and Daria Oancea; and the Three Ashes Association established by curator Charles Esche.
Shelter for collective dreaming proposes the co-production of a modular and mobile shelter on the land parcels of the ASK members through collective conceptualization, participation, and activation.
