That Bucharest is not an “European capital”. 228 square km, and only 1 km of those is culturally significant, situated in the tired, over saturated centre of the city. The rest, dormitory-neighborhoods and factories, built inside the city walls. You can find none of these in Berlin, Paris or London, where you can run around for hours from exhibitions to concerts while remaining in the city limits. A big city means neighborhoods booming with life and personality.
Make a Point accepts.
The neighborhoods the way they are: asleep and filled with 7-11s, casinos and pharmacies. It accepts the factories spread over kilometers, while they haven’t been producing anything for years. Make a Point accepts Bucharest the way it is, and gets to action. The Make a Point association tries to decongest the centre and facilitate cultural happenings in the city’s outskirts, in neighborhoods, abandoned halls, factories or other such locations. We live in an unpleasant city, which was left to us this way. We make our peace with this and try to give back the city to the people.
Make a Point.
Make a Point organizes exhibitions, shows, movie projections, workshops and remains a space dedicated to exhibiting works and messages by contemporary artists.
