Dysnomia, Alexandre Dupeyron (DE) | Exhibition

Văcărești National Park București

Alexandre Dupeyron’s artistic projects have come together in Dysnomia, presented as a book, a live projection mixing his photos with a 60-minute music piece by Thomas Julienne's "Theorem of Joy," and an exhibition where he reinterprets his black-and-white work in color using a gum bichromate process.

ON CONVERSATION > Sara Lepore – IT | Lecture

Istituto di Cultura Italiano Bucarest Aleea Alexandru 41, București

We are excited to host an engaging conversation with photographer Sara Lepore, born in Carpi in 1999, delves into the intricate interplay between language, culture, and identity through her artistic endeavors. Her journey began with a deep-rooted interest in communication and new media, which she pursued at the University of Parma. In 2019, she expanded her horizons by studying documentary photography under Lina Pallotta at Spazio Labò.

INGREDIENTE PENTRU UN TORT DE MIERE, CU DRAGOSTE, Sara Lepore – IT | Exhibition

Art-an-te Strada Ion Câmpineanu 3, București

This project, part of Futuri Prossimi in Turin, takes a fun look at family identity. The artist finds what she thought was a love letter to her dad, but it’s really a recipe collection in a language she never learned. This leads to a cooking reunion with her Romanian aunts, where a honey cake hilariously becomes an apple pie. The work explores cultural confusion and how language shapes belonging. During the exhibition, she’ll bake the “wrong” cake to spark conversations about love and connection in cooking.

MOIMOM, Hugo Weber (FR) | Exhibition

Goethe Institut Calea Dorobanți 32, București

The relationship between a French teenage single mother and her son has always been peculiar. The mother, born in 1983, had a complicated life, facing abandonment and various hardships. Despite a peaceful childhood, their relationship deteriorated due to her severe drinking problem and his rebellious nature. A stroke in 2015 left her with lasting disabilities, transforming their dynamic. Photography became a therapeutic tool, helping them reconnect and fostering new emotional bonds. The project explores the son’s origins and their complex relationship through photography, revealing new perspectives on their identities.

SHINE ON, Alex Zoboli (IT) | Exhibition

Goethe Institut Calea Dorobanți 32, București

In 2016, the British referendum led to the UK’s departure from the European Community in 2020, sparking debates on national identity and the EU’s viability. Brexit exposed a crisis within the establishment and a breakdown in national hegemony. The photographic project “Shine On,” started in 2019, explores the evolving British identity amid global changes, highlighting paradoxical effects, especially in marginalized communities. It captures a nation in flux, documenting societal metamorphosis through rediscovered landscapes and memories.

ARABIAN LOCATIONS, Gaëtan Soerensen – FR | Exhibition

Al-Aziziyah, near the Jordanian border in Saudi Arabia, is quickly transforming into a tourist destination, with new buildings and workers arriving fast. Just a few years ago, it didn’t exist; it’s part of a redevelopment effort spreading to the countryside.
Lacking official plans, the town feels randomly constructed, with many empty or unfinished houses. The photographer explores the idea of "place" versus "non-place," aiming to capture the unique reality of this unusual environment.
