The scholarship will result in the creation of a short documentary film from the processing of the materials created during my residency in Los Angeles, where, with the support of the Los Angeles Poverty Department, I met and talked with artists working in vulnerable communities, in different media - film, visual arts, performing arts -, expanding it in dialogue with artists from Romania, in an attempt to identify common good practices, models that can be translated into the Romanian context.
The result will be a series of audio-visual materials and texts which I propose to curate in the form of a dialogue between the activity of artists in Los Angeles, in the socio-political and economic context of the city, and my own activity and that of other artists and members of the civil society operating in Romania and Timișoara. This material, a short documentary, will be screened in Timișoara and accompanied by a debate on the subject.
This project is part of the national cultural program "Timișoara – European Capital of Culture in 2023" and was funded through Energie! Burse de Creație grant by the City of Timisoara, through the Center for Projects.
