Wish You Were Here, Sarah Palmer (CA) | Exhibition

Tineretului Park Sector 4, București

Wish You Were Here explores the rise of "last-chance tourism" in the face of the climate crisis, where travelers visit threatened destinations before they vanish. Spanning four continents over ten years, Palmer's work contrasts idyllic vacation spots with the harsh realities of climate change—melting glaciers, rising seas, and dying coral reefs. Her imagery intentionally juxtaposes leisure with the unsettling truth of our environmental decline.

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.

The Angels of Nazareth, Hugo Weber – FR | Exhibition

Pasajul Mihai Bravu București

The community of Nazareth, managed by Caritas Spes, is a center for IDPs, mutilated soldiers, and drug addicts on the outskirts of Drohobych, Ukraine. Once a secret Soviet military base, it now symbolizes Ukrainian resilience and the quest for a national identity amidst ongoing conflict. The center brings together diverse individuals united by war, sharing stories of suffering and hope. This project aims to depict their daily lives, highlighting their struggle for normalcy and national pride. Since arriving six months ago, I’ve been moved by the Ukrainians’ gratitude and hospitality, and this work seeks to share their human drama and desire for peace.

AS WE CROSS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GARDEN, d. Ameen Abo Kaseem – PS/SY | FIlm Screening

Cinema Union Strada Ion Câmpineanu 21, București

In late 2018, the war in Damascus ended, and life seemed to be going back to normal. We had hopes for a better future, but reality quickly hit – the economy collapsed, jobs disappeared, and survival became the focus. After years of war and loss, we stopped caring about the future and just lived day by day. This is the story of ordinary people trying to survive, love, have fun, and make the most of what little we have. We're all connected, sharing a dream of a better life with basic comforts like electricity, food, and safety.
