Voices of Fabric. A residency with Andrei Becheru

A research-and-creation residency in which photographer Andrei Becheru gathered over eighty interviews and photographs from Fabric, later assembled into the first issue of the neighbourhood newspaper "Voices of Fabric".

Over eighty conversations with neighbours, gathered into a newspaper that gives the district its voice back.

Andrei Becheru — photographer, co-founder of the FOC collective, based in Bucharest — came to Casa Jakab Toffler for a research-and-creation residency, within the project "Făcute în Fabric — Impuls în comunitate".

The residency meant, above all, time spent in the district: over eighty interviews with residents of Fabric and a wide series of photographs, about how people live here and what they remember.

The gathered material was assembled into the first issue of the neighbourhood newspaper "Voices of Fabric", a publication the house carried on in the years that followed.
