Testimonials
“I arrived in Romania with a wounded heart and soul. I was asked to set up a beautiful place where my Ukrainian brothers could heal through art. “Who thinks of art in wartime…” I asked myself? But it was the best thing that ever happened to me. And the best thing that happened to the refugee community in Cluj… It gave us a sense of normality and slowly, slowly, our wounds stopped hurting so much.”
