Bucharest Collage Collective follows a global movement that brings collage art into the public eye and supports artists dedicated to this expressive medium.
We are an independent collective that, through exhibitions, workshops, and festivals, bring the public closer to collage, support artists, and strengthen the collage position among other art forms.
Since 2019, Collage Festival has been the heart of our community. The first edition, initiated by Andrei Stan, brought together 14 artists, performers, and musicians who created a true collage of the arts. That’s how this community was born.
Today, the organizing team includes Cristiana Bucureci, Andrei Stan, Ada Moisă, Ruxandra Niculae, and Daniel Loagar. Around us, over 90 artists have already come together through exhibitions and workshops in Bucharest.
This year, we’re preparing the 3rd edition of Collage Festival, taking place October 24–26 at Green Hours. It will feature a large-scale exhibition with over 60 Romanian and international artists, exploring the versatility of collage. The vibrant atmosphere will be complemented by theater shows, concerts, performances, talks, collage workshops, and many other surprises.
The theme of this year’s edition is "The New 20’s", a direct reference to the 1920s — a time marked by radical innovation and artistic effervescence following the trauma of the World War. It was an era when collage became a vital language for expressing rupture, dislocation, and the desire for reconstruction. Dada, Constructivism, and Surrealism all used collage to deconstruct reality and reassemble it into new forms — often disorienting, fragmented, and political.
Today, collage is once again relevant. In an age of visual overproduction, endless remixing, and a crisis of meaning, collage offers direct tools for selection, critique, and reconfiguration. It’s not just an artistic technique, but an attitude — one that intervenes in the information flow, cuts and pastes new meanings, and reshapes the fragments of a disintegrating world.
This project is initiated by the Wood Be Nice Association.
Partners: Green Hours, Group for Social Dialogue, and Creionetica
