Wednesday, 26 November 2025, 6-8 pm
The Romanian Order of Architects
Pictor Arthur Verona 19, Bucharest
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.

Spring Entrance Community from Siliștea Snagovului:
The Experimental Station for Research on Art and Life
ASK (Amaranth Seed Kollective)
Fundația Trei frasini/Three Ashes
In August, tranzit.ro/Bucharest launched a new project which coincided with the official inauguration of two distinct entities on the land parcels around the Experimental Station: (ASK) Amaranth Seed Kollektive, 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; Fundația Trei frasini/Three Ashes, established by curator Charles Esche.
Shelter for Collective Dreaming proposed the co-production of a modular and mobile shelter on the land parcels of ASK members through collective conceptualization, participation, and activation. The shelter was enabled throughout autumn as a space for dreaming and imagining, together with local and international guests invited to contribute, in dialogue and exchange, at formulating a timely, contextually relevant direction for the artistic community at Siliștea Snagovului. The events held on site and in the surroundings approached the wide spectrum of dreams, through walks, workshops, presentations, performances, and discussions, understood as gestures of resistance and hope-projecting in the face of ongoing multiple crises – political, cultural, and ecological.
