Giants of Pantelimon Permanent Street Art Exhibition - an art and life project striving for new heights - Three years after the Pantelimon water tower was converted into an art tower, Make a Point will put forward for the first time in Romania an international art and life project which will take the neighbourhood at new heights.

The public, looking from the tower, will be able to once again interact [...]
Giants of Pantelimon. Chapter I The first roof painted by Boemona as part of the Giants of Pantelimon community art project can now be seen from Art Tower of Pantelimon. For two months we walked around the neighborhood talking to the inhabitants, to discover which are the stories, places and buildings that are important to them. We also asked them to describe their personal relationship with Pantelimon and what the things are that differentiate this place from the others in Bucharest. In this way we came to talk about the first electric tram in Bucharest, the demolition of the houses [...]
Giants of Pantelimon in 2017: a project of art and life at height Three years after the opening of the Pantelimon Water and Art Tower, Make a Point is developing a new art project at its height. The neighborhood's inhabitants tell their stories, the artists climb the rooftops, the public admire them from the tower. The life of the neighborhood, which is not written in any history book, remains there, between heaven and earth, to anyone who finds it, whenever it takes a stroll through the past and contemporary history of Bucharest. The first electric tram in Bucharest, the demolitions [...]

[column-group-page][column] See you again in September Starting this week, Make a Point takes a short holiday, but only to have more time to prepare a new series of events. Sezonul acesta v-am provocat la 20 de seri săptămânale de film, uneori cu teme politice sau sociale, alteori poetice, experimentale sau secrete. Am descoperit împreună autori tineri, aflați la început de drum, am declanșat discuții despre rolul revoluțiilor și responsabilizarea societății civile, despre etică și mass-media, despre comunități, grupuri de inițiativă și impactul lor, atât pe plan local, cît și internațional. Pentru că aceste subiecte reprezintă un interes real pentru echipa [...]
