HoT Talks is a series of informal community gatherings aimed at bringing the city’s heritage closer to people, not just as a subject of study, but as a shared experience. We want to open real conversations about buildings, histories, transformations, and how each of us relates to the city we live in.
The two projects share a critical approach to dominant anthropocentric perspectives. The artist proposes a shift from hierarchical structures towards more interconnected and decentralized models.
On the this first meeting, Alexandra Palconi-Sitov, together with Maria Radu, will present the directions and activities of the Heritage of Timișoara program for the 2026–2027 period.
Speakers:
❖ Prof. Dr. Diana Andreescu, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Design – UVT
❖ Assoc. Prof. Dr. Andreea Lazea
❖ Lecturer Dr. Maria Sârbu
The meeting will conclude with a guided tour of the Heritage of Timișoara Illustrated exhibition, led by Lia Cristina Pfeiffer.
The entrance is free of charge.
