4. Project “Easter Triptych”
The 'Easter Triptych' project, spanning six annual editions (2018–2023), successfully integrated religious and cultural traditions into a multifaceted artistic and educational initiative. It highlighted the preservation of Romanian customs, beliefs, and craftsmanship through performances, exhibitions, and collaborations with institutions such as the Romanian National Opera Iași and UNESCO-affiliated museums. The project's reach extended internationally, fostering cross-cultural dialogue in Austria and the Republic of Moldova. A notable outcome was the CD 'Easter Triptych,' encapsulating its artistic contributions.
The Albeşti Limestone: a geoheritage and cultural heritage in Romania
Eocene limestones from Albeşti village, Romania, known as the Albeşti Limestone/Stone, have been identified as both a significant geoheritage and cultural heritage resource. This rock, extracted locally, has been used for centuries in constructing notable buildings, including the UNESCO World Heritage Site Horezu Monastery. The study integrates published and unpublished data with field surveys to highlight its dual role: as a protected natural reserve (Albeşti Nummulitic Limestone Nature Reserve) and a heritage stone of national importance. Findings emphasize its potential for heritage preservation, geoeducation, and geotourism development.
Sustainable Strategies for Promoting the Horezu Pottery and the Cultural Landscape of Horezu, Romania
Horezu pottery, recognized as part of Romania's immaterial cultural patrimony since 2012, faces limited promotion despite its widespread presence in handicraft stores. This study proposes sustainable strategies to enhance the visibility and appreciation of Horezu pottery while preserving its cultural significance. It highlights the need for comprehensive promotion, including information on geographical context, historical background, artistic evolution, decorative motifs, and local gastronomy traditions. The research aims to balance increased tourism with sustainability, ensuring that the pottery's unique heritage is both accessible and protected. By integrating these elements, the study offers a model for sustainable cultural promotion that can be applied to other UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
