State Cultural Institute Cultural Centre “The Palace” presents “Poems of Remembrance” — an exhibition of reconstructive ethnographic photography and glass painting.
The exhibition invites visitors into the world of traditional culture, where the memory of the past continues to live through images, rituals, and human stories.
Photographer Vasile Sârbu presents 30 award-winning photographs recognised at national and international level. Created as reconstructions of scenes from the life of the traditional Romanian village, these works move between documentary and artistic expression, recreating the atmosphere, gestures, and spirit of a world preserved in cultural memory.
In dialogue with the photographs, artist Simona-Teodora Roșca-Niacșu presents glass icons and ornaments inspired by the Transylvanian and Post-Byzantine traditions. Created using historical techniques with gold and silver leaf, the artworks combine sacred symbolism, decorative richness, and historical memory.
“Poems of Remembrance” is an exhibition about roots, identity, and those fragile traces of the past that art succeeds in preserving beyond time.
