Arts Lab 3.0: Demet Durdu - Unforgettable memories

I mentioned several times in my previous reports, that I started working on creating replicas after some of the most important Cucuteni masterpieces. In January I have advanced with the works and produced in a more disciplined way. I combined the information I gathered as a result of my research and applied it to the clay. I spent a month that I will never forget because I have gained an amazing experience. I am proud of the realization of our project that we have planned and thought about for a long time. We shared with people, Cucuteni history in a creative manner. We left an alternative museum for the future. The name of it is Cucuteni Alternative Museum.

I will always remember the moments we spent as a team while opening the experiential museum. We found a way to make each other smile even we were a bit stressed.

Each piece of work gathers great effort, dreams, and excitement. When I will leave, the works I have made on this land will still live. I am grateful for having this opportunity.

Years later, I will come to visit Romania and look at my works and those memories will come alive in my heart. I am grateful to everyone who contributed. As a team, we will take these unforgettable memories with us all over the world.

During this period, we held the Turkish night event. We introduced Turkey, tasted its food, taught our dances. I can say it is another unforgettable moment. I was proud to introduce my own country to a different country.
