Panel Talk, "Homecoming: Undoing the Exile"

June 19

H 17:00-19:00

We invite you to an afternoon of reflection and dialogue, part of the exhibition program Jacques Hérold, Body of the Unseen, curated by Dorian Dogaru (Paris) and organized by Alexandru Rus. This event aims not only to “bring Hérold home,” but also to echo the stories of other artists of Romanian origin — forgotten or overlooked — such as Sandu Darie, Myra Landau, Sorel Etrog, Gherasim Luca, and Natalia Dumitresco.

There are departures that do not end with a return.
