Summary of the results
The main objective of the "Blue Sun" project "Conversations about art, science and ecology" was achieved thanks to the strengthening of bilateral relations between Romania and Norway through the partnership with the artist Lise Wulff and during a residency organized in Tromso through the study visits of the Romanian artist to the Artic University, whose research directions are focused, among others, on the auroral light - a topic of interest for this project. Katrin Losleben, representative of the Arctic University, gave one of the three talks within the project, organized in Timișoara, hosted by the University of the West.
At the same time, the artistic director''s visit to Bodø contributed to the strengthening of relations between the two European cultural capitals Timișoara 2023 and Bodø 2024, materialized by the agreement between the promoter and the organizers "Bodø cultural capital 2024" by which they undertake to explore opportunities for collaboration and development of cultural projects in the future.
