It involves seven cultural institutions operating in Romania &#8211; the<strong> <\/strong>British Council, the Czech Centre, the Embassy of the Netherlands, the Goethe-Institut, the Italian Institute for Culture, the Polish Institute and Funda\u021bia9, each engaged in supporting one residency. The project was framed by this consortium of European partners, in collaboration with<strong> curator Adelina Luft.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the context of the climate emergency and shrinking mobility opportunities for pan-european exchange, FLOWING STREAMS aims to harbour meaningful collaborations between artists, architects, anthropologists, hydrologists or community organisers and the local partnering organisations from Romania. The programme intends to create space for co-learning, mutual listening and exchange of knowledge and practices, centred around the theme of water \u2013 the cultural embeddedness of local or traditional approaches to water management and water conservation, the social and environmental sustainability of these practices, and their adaptability to changing environmental, political and economic circumstances.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Romania\u2019s rural landscape represents 90% of the country\u2019s territory, with diverse climates and natural resources. Lack of investment in rural areas has generated scarcity and limited opportunities for inhabitants, but it has also left nature to survive on its own, with many areas still holding old forests, wetlands and rich biodiversity. Sadly, corruption and poor policies to protect the natural environment, connected with lack of ecological education, are threatening the sustainable development of these areas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The seven European practitioners selected will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the daily life of the Romanian village and explore the context of water specific to each location, hosted and mediated by a partnering organisation. Located in different rural areas of Romania, the host organisations have been running dedicated programmes around notions and practices that recontextualize the rural space and the natural environment through a reorientation of sensibilities and from a new paradigm of ecological knowledge. Through the residencies, participants are encouraged to explore local cosmovisions and practices around water, its relationship with customs, traditions, or occupations, by listening, sharing and exchanging with the spaces as sites of interpellation. These encounters are intended to open up new possibilities of reclaiming knowledge linked to a territory, historical memory and ecology, and to map a network of existing or potential socio-ecological practices that restore our relationship with water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flowing Streams Residencies<br><br>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/incontext.art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IN CONTEXT\/LA CENTRALA<br><\/a>Location: Sl\u0103nic Moldova\/former Sl\u0103nic Baths (Bac\u0103u County)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supported by the British Council Romania<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open to applicants from: UK<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Residency Period: 1 &#8211;
