The project "Celebrating Trouble. In light of" continues the approach initiated by the 4Culture Association in 2023, in partnership with danceWEB Vienna and the European Life Long Burning Network, co-financed by the Timișoara Project Center and the Creative Europe Program of the European Union, and entitled ”Celebrating Trouble. ChoreoCon" (October 4-8, 2023).

"Celebrating Trouble. In the light of" is conceived as a platform where individual and collective artistic practices reflect on the social realities of the region and emphasize the potential of the arts to facilitate sustainable development. In a period marked by armed conflicts, social, health and climate crises, the project facilitates the participation of Romanian artists in prestigious events, where intercultural dialog, exchange of ideas and artistic practices become a public arena, inspire and create the potential for long-term cooperation.

The project provides a network of international presentation, cultural exchange, discussion, learning and different formats of residencies, artistic laboratory, international workshops/workshops, artistic performances, video screenings, international networking meetings, dedicated to both a general and professional audience, with the aim of stimulating critical thinking in individual and collective artistic research approaches, while encouraging multidisciplinary perspectives of European cooperation.
