On Thursday, ???????? ??, ???? ??:??, we invite you to the ??????? ??????? ???? ??????, at Rezidența9 (I.L.Caragiale 32).
The FLOWING STREAMS project comes to an end with the launch of the publication of the same name, which brings together the research work that the artists and practitioners involved in the project have carried out this year in rural areas of Romania. This publication, coordinated by Nicoleta Moise, compiles a living archive of a situated cultural ecology of waters: between what can be potentially restored as infrastructures, practices or knowledge and what can be rethought as a way of responding to the specificities of a place and in relation to the global effects of climate change.

The multi-residency project ??????? ???????, an initiative of EUNIC Romania, curated by Adelina Luft, facilitated an exercise in bridging: between artistic proposals and the rural world, between European practitioners and local organizations, and between existing hydrological conditions and future possibilities for restoring the relationship between people and water.
Pawel Rutkowski (EUNIC/Polish Institute), Adelina Luft (curator of Flowing Streams), Nicoleta Moise (publication coordinator) will be in conversation with Rucsandra Pop (author) on the topic of the human-water relationship.

The FLOWING STREAMS ???????? ??????????? ??????? on the cultural ecology of water took place during 2024 and involved artists from 7 countries. Initiated by ?????? ???????ă (British Council), ????????? ?ă??? (Fundația9) and ????? ????????? (Polish Institute) and curated by ??????? ????, it was conceived as a series of short-term residencies for artists and practitioners based in seven countries affiliated to the network of European cultural institutes in Romania.

In the spring of 2024, following an open call, from 170 applications, the project team selected seven residents, each supported by a cultural institute in their home country: ?????? ???????? (UK) at ?? ??????? ??ă??? ??????? - British Council Romania, ?á???? Š??? (Czech Republic) at the???????????? ???????? ??????? ??? ??? ??? ???? - Czech Center, ????????? ????????? (Poland) at ?????? ??????? - Polish Institute, ???????????? (???? ??ö??????? ??? ???? ??, Netherlands) at the ?????????? ????????? - Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, ??????? ?á? (Romania) at ????????ț??- Fundația9, ?????? ??? ????? (Germany) at ?????? - ?????? ?? ????????? ????????? - Goethe-Institut Bucharest and ????? ????????? (Italy) at ???? (?â?ț?ș???? ???????? ??????) - Italian Cultural Institute in Bucharest. During the summer, they conducted research in the respective spaces, hosted by local organizations, to explore the interconnection between water, land and life and to create a space for co-learning and mutual listening by involving practitioners from different fields and local people.

In their short visits, the people in residence have taken on the role of mapping the social and cultural imbalances affecting water relations beyond the immediate reality of brutal drought, and their findings as well as their suggested proposals, approaches and possible local interventions can be found in the limited-edition publication ??????? ???????.
