Moulding Nature
Discursive Struggles over Timișoara Environment
08 – 17 December 2023
Politehnica University of Timișoara, the Färgfabriken Contemporary Art Center based in Stockholm and students from the Architecture Faculty of UPT created a visual conversation reflecting about the human environment where nature often becomes fenced, elevated and even synthetic. Through this exhibition we can give personal meanings to questions such as: What is natural in the urban realm? Is nature a pretext for beautification? Do we build barriers to protect nature or to protect ourselves from it?
Moulding Nature
Discursive Struggles Over the Environment
26 August – 26 November 2023
Moulding Nature raises questions about how we perceive our environment. In video works, collages, photos and installations, artists and other participants explore how different discourses affect the way we give meaning to nature and the role of mankind in it. Discourses that often are in conflict with each other and compete for space, sometimes even fight each other.

Iconoclastic Controversies 2
by Nico Carpentier (1st ed.)
15-22 April 2022
The exhibition investigates how the memorials on the island of Cyprus represent the Cyprus Problem in very particular ways, often supporting antagonistic nationalist discourses and constructing the other as Enemy. It is an arts-based research project, grounded in academic research, that uses an artistic repertoire to communicate and co-produce knowledge.
