On Tuesday, March 3, 2026, starting at 6:00 PM, Galeria CREART in Bucharest will host the opening of the exhibition “Survival Infrastructure”, signed by visual artist Zoița Delia Călinescu. Organized by the Bucharest City Hall through CREART – Centrul de Creație, Artă și Tradiție al Municipiului București, the exhibition aligns with an identity-driven curatorial direction of the gallery’s program, which in recent years has featured, every March, solo shows by visual artists with feminist discourses such as Mihaela Moldovan (2025), Liliana Basarab (2024), and Raluca Ilaria Demetrescu (2023).
Curated by Ana Daniela Sultana, the exhibition “Survival Infrastructure” brings together video art works and social statistics collaged onto mirrors by Zoița Delia Călinescu.
“Survival Infrastructure represents a stage in my research dedicated to the desertification process in southwestern Oltenia and the interdependence between community and ecosystem. The acceleration of environmental degradation generates profound social transformations, within which female migration emerges as a structural effect. The work approaches this mobility not only as geographical displacement, but as a systemic response to climatic and economic precarity.” – Zoița Delia Călinescu
Zoița Delia Călinescu (b. 1978) is a multidisciplinary artist who regularly works across diverse media, ranging from digital photography to contemporary drawing, and from installation and video to performance. Her current artistic practice focuses on a documentary-oriented approach, exploring the relationship between humans and nature and the possibilities of sustainable coexistence between them.
Her most recent exhibition projects, highlighting this new artistic direction, have taken place at Centrul Cultural Reduta (Brașov, 2025, 2024), Universitatea de Artă din Budapesta (2023), ICR Istanbul (2021), WASP (2021), and ICR New York (2020).
The exhibition can be visited from March 4 to April 3, 2026, Monday to Friday, between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, at CREART Gallery.
