Founded in 2009 by the documentary maker Mădălina Roșca, film critic Viorica Bucur and visual artist Alma Cazacu, the socio-cultural organisation Makea a Point is active in projects of regeneration and re-conversion of industrial spaces, cultural intervention, but also in creating artistic projects there, where cultural is restricted or limited (especially by the lack of public infrastructure). In the meantime, the issues for which Make a Point was founded shifted, making room for novel ones. Most of the big factories, inherited from a time of rapid industrialisation, were demolished making room for malls, literally speaking. The lack of alternative for spending free time in the neighbourhood found an answer in the mushrooming gambling parlors, 87 percent of them being slot machines, a fourfold increase in 8 years. On Bucharest’s map of alternative cultural venues, Make a Point is a point of reference. It organizes exhibitions, shows, film screenings, seminaries, and remains a space dedicated to bringing to light the works of socially-and politically-involved contemporary creators.

Pantelimon is one of the most notorious neighborhoods in Romania and, even though some people only hear about it in B.U.G Mafia lyrics, the neighborhood hides fascinating places and stories, known only by its residents. The first electric tram in Bucharest, the demolitions of the 70's, the thermal insulation nowadays, the life of the working class that built socialism and the life of the youth who now learn about the past. These are not only the Pantelimon stories, but the East European stories in general. Gathering local and international artists support, but also with the help of the neighborhood community, Make a Point brings to life the often overlooked local dimension of history and the unexplored stories and places, those deserving to be discovered. Join the opening of the Giants of Pantelimon photo exhibition and discover the neighborhood through the eyes of the inhabitants and of those who have crossed the streets of Pantelimon. A permanent open air exhibition, part of Giants of Pantelimon project.
