Reading Urban Strata: Semiotics of Post-Communist Spaces
Bucharest | 11–14 June 2025
This event brings together researchers, artists, and practitioners to reflect on how time, architecture, and society intersect in post-communist cities. Focusing on Bucharest’s layered urban fabric, we will explore architecture as a living organism shaped by ideology, memory, and everyday use. How can we read the residues of history inscribed in the city? And how might alternative forms of research and storytelling reframe these narratives?
Join us for one or more of the panels, screenings, site visits, and performative interventions that open up new ways of reading the city and its histories.
Registration required! If you want to attend, please send us an e-mail at patrascu.eliza@gmail.com – limited spots available!
