Interdisciplinary event in a sacral space where religion, arts, club culture and society meet.
Oradea, 2023

The role of the sacred in the present times is investigated.
This project illustrates the factual social importance of religious buildings and highlights new opportunities for intercultural exchange.
Content-wise, the event focuses on an expanded use, a possible redefinition of sacred spaces, with the aim to bring the discourse between religion, society and art to a broader and new level.

At the heart of our endeavor lies our intention to open these architecturally unique and valuable cultural and historical spaces so that they can be experienced as a place of encounter in addition to their religious significance for people, regardless of their beliefs.

In an interaction between theory and practice, a sacred space is going to be redefined and contrasted by on-topic presentations amongst other outstanding activities like contemporary dance performances, electronic sound art, interactive light installations and live-video projections during a two-day program.
