Eyes on Romania
In a context where prejudices and stereotypes influence the relationships between different groups and the superficiality with which one relates to other cultures leads to discrimination, visual design can be a powerful and an alternative method to pave the way for a detailed study of foreign culture and its understanding. In this context and under the pretext of breaking the mold, the focus on Romania is inserted, a project that promotes the excellence of Romanian visual culture, able to impress through an authentic spirit. Thus, the project fosters a climate of exchange of experiences and critical discussion, leading to the creation of a fair vision of the Romanian identity.
Eyes on Romania
The exhibition proposes both a look at the history of Romanian graphic design through editorial projects that speak about everyday life, the history and culture of a community, but also, and above all, a focus on the current protagonists, who contribute to raise the cultural-artistic level of Romania: graphic designers and illustrators with the desire to do and to show the potential of this culture.The sustainability of the project is also given by the collaboration with several Romanian realities operating in the field of visual design: The Institute (Romanian Design Week), grapho_mat studio and the project “Cele mai frumoase cărți din România”, Posterjam, Visual Playground, Kajet Journal, Synopsis studio and the visual artist Kitra. In the slides below, a view of all the exhibitions.

New Romania - PosterJam Offbeat
PosterJam is a project started in 2017 by Local Design Circle members, Artemisa Pascu, Andrei Turenici, and Andrei Grosu. Their aim is to challenge and promote a rising community. From print to the digital environment, the poster has continuously adapted in order to answer to communications needs. In this context, they wish to create a space dedicated to experimenting and pushing boundaries. Each month, they challenge those who want to promote their graphic design skills to create posters based on a given word. At the end of each edition, all the submissions are promoted online and the best three posters are showcased. Besides the monthly challenges, they developed the Offbeat editions. Invite-only challenges, that assure a certain level of work quality. This is an Offbeat edition. New Romania explores a blend between new and old traditions, ideas or social values. Curated by: Andrei Grosu; Artemisa Pascu; Andrei Turenici
