Series of workshops at Galeria Plan B Cluj coordinated by Diana Marincu
22 – 28 May 2015
This program is an initiative carried out by Plan B with the purpose of presenting the practice of significant Romanian artists in the frame of a workshop starting from the idea of changing the context in which students usually work and of challenging them to rethink what they already know. So, the main purpose of the program is to pursue a pedagogy of reflection and questioning, collaboration and exchange of ideas, critique and engagement.
