A Celebration of Romania’s Cultural and Natural Heritage
This September, the Romanian Cultural Institute in London welcomed its guests to the special event highlighting the best of Romania’s culture and nature. The crowning moment of the event was the presentation by Alin Ușeriu, the co-founder of Via Transilvanica, a hiking trail, over 900 miles long stretching across Romania, where walkers, cyclists, and even horseback riders are invited to visit a diversity of regions in the country.
Guests enjoyed an engaging short film and outdoor presentation displaying Via Transilvanica in actual practice. Alin Ușeriu embellished his presentation with inspiring personal stories from the trail and such large projects as facilities development were explained within the context of entering the market with an idea. It was especially important because the trail has started receiving attention among the British media as a project of eco-tourism and cultural heritage in the context of Romania.
Apart from the Via Transilvanica part, guests were also able to see the “Inner Landscapes” exhibition of Bogdan Mihai Radu, which was an interiorized examination of selfhood and culture through the media of art. The patrons also participated in the presentation of the Oriental-style history of the Romanian Cultural Institute and its magnificent building to the guests of the institute integrating the guests into the history of the institute.
This activity occurred within the context of the Open House Festival marking the 13th time that the institute has taken part in this particular activity. This was an occasion that brought out not only the wealth of Romanian history but particularly its landscaping as well, providing examples of how art, history, and ethnicity can inspire people of different races and cultures.
