Two public space installations, the result of a year of Romanian-Polish cooperation, will be presented in Bucharest, by Romanian Design Week, and in Lodz, by the Lodz Design Festival.
The installations are part of the project "Design is our shared language," organised within the Romania-Poland / Poland-Romania Cultural Season 2024-2025, whose slogan is "We speak the same language," the Romanian Cultural Institute (ICR) informs in a press release sent to AGERPRES on Friday.
The project, supported by the Romanian Cultural Institute in Warsaw, Romania's Ministry of Culture, the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, and the Polish Institute in Bucharest, mirrors two urban interventions designed to bring strangers and friends together, offering new meeting spaces in the heart of the cities.
"On Saturday, May 17, at 11:30 AM (meeting point: Amzei Square), Bucharest residents can take part in a guided tour on Calea Victoriei, where they will discover both old and new stories of the avenue. Among the new ones is the 'Design is our shared language' project, with an installation located in Revolutiei Square. At 3:00 PM, at the Cervantes Institute, the public is invited to join a talk with Maria Duda, the creator of the Bucharest installation and an architect at BAZA. Deschidem orasul, along with architect Justin Baroncea and Studio An An," the ICR informed.
The urban intervention in Lodz, located at the intersection of Ogrodowa and Zachodnia streets, will be presented on Sunday, May 25, at 4:00 PM at Art Inkubator, through a discussion between Polish architects from Studio 2x3 and the Romanian team from BAZA. Deschidem orasul.

The 2025 edition of the Lódz Design Festival is held under the theme "nie_koniec / un_end," in the period May 20-25.
