Gabroveni Inn, the new headquarters of ARCUB - The Cultural Centre of Bucharest, has been, just like the city, through a series of changes: from an important trading post, to a ruin, and now, due to a complex restoration process, it attempts to combine retaining elements of historic whilst opening up the building to a post industrial reality where new ideas and creativity fosters. A place for reflection, for debate, for interaction and hybrid art forms, a living archive and a witness of our history.

Bucharest Memory | Exploring | Visioning the City
19:00 - 04:00 BucharestCurators: Trevor Davies, Sorin Istudor, Alina Șerban
The project is structured as a trilogy, where the city becomes both a set for performance and a performer, and its citizens content generators.
The first part of the project, titled The Memory of the City, looks to draft an emotional map of Bucharest, starting from photographs and filmed sequences from personal collections and documentary funds, to which the inhabitants of the city are invited to contribute their own photographic testimonies and subjective histories capturing the dynamics of Bucharest life.
Bucharest Memory | Exploring | Visioning the City is the project that launches the bid of the city of Bucharest to the European Capital of Culture 2021 title.

War and Peace in the Balkans
19:00 - 04:00 BucharestGabroveni Inn | Column Hall
An exhibition by the Goethe-Institut, in partnership with ARCUB – The Cultural Centre of Bucharest.
The exhibition presents the work of five photographers who captured the reality of war and life in the Balkans from 1914 to 1918, showing us a world still largely unknown even to this day.
The American Lewis Hine photographed child victims of war, while Ariel Varges, also American, recorded the city of Salonica at the time when the multinational army of the Triple Entente was stationed there. The Russian photographer Sampson Tchernoff followed the epic retreat of the Serbian Army through the mountains of Albania, while two anonymous photographers from the German and French Army revealed everyday life in the Balkans in wartime, and war crimes against civilians.
War and Peace in the Balkans is part of Bucharest Memory | Exploring | Visioning the City.
