Raluca Voinea
Raluca Voinea is a curator and art critic, based in Bucharest. Since 2012, she is co-director of the tranzit.ro Association. From 2012 to 2019 she managed their space in Bucharest, which included an art gallery, a communitarian permaculture garden and an Orangery (a space for hosting fragile plants and ideas), all developed organically and in response to both the local context and to international frameworks. Starting in 2021, the ideas and approach that configured this space are continued in a new project, The Experimental Station for Research on Art and Life, a collective project realised by tranzit.ro together with a group of cultural workers in the village of Silistea Snagovului, 40 km north of Bucharest. Her work is grounded in a local context, yet open for transversal and transdisciplinary collaborations. She is co-editor of IDEA. Arts + Society magazine since 2008. She was the curator of the Romanian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2013, realised by artists Alexandra Pirici and Manuel Pelmuş. She is co-founder of different curatorial informal structures, such as The Resurrection Committee, with Ovidiu Ţichindeleanu (since 2016) and Collection Collective, with Judit Angel and Vlad Morariu (since 2017).
