Arts Lab 5.0: Hassan Ghonim, Egypt - Month 2

We have finished our first project about Romanian folklore, exploring it and creating artistic projects based on it. The project ended with an art exhibition where we showcased all our artworks with different backgrounds. I enjoyed the experience and interacting with the visitors at the exhibition. We created art workshops and interactive activities during the exhibition to have a better and more enjoyable time with the attendees. 

Afterward, we started our second project about the Cucuteni civilization. We are currently discovering the civilization day by day. I conducted a residency for children at ''Garabet Ibrăileanu'' school in collaboration with Sena, and it was truly enjoyable. We had a great time, and the children were wonderful! 

We also visited a new city, Suceava. It was a very beautiful trip with the team, and we saw many exciting things, breathtaking nature, and learned a lot about the Romanian civilization as well. 

I saved the most challenging part of the month for the end. We went to the immigration office in Iași to finalize some paperwork. It was a boring and exhausting experience, a tough time, so please wish us good luck for everything to go smoothly.
