On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Romania’s accession to the UN, the Romanian Cultural Institute presents "We, the People of the United Nations", a conceptual exhibition of installations and objects by Romanian-American artist and designer Ioana Barac. Through their forms and symbolism, the works—crafted from metal, paper and plastic—evoke creativity, resilience, collaboration, transformation, and the potential for recycling, summoning founding ideals of the UN. At the same time, the exhibition alludes to the fragility of peace and democracy, which are often under threat, inviting viewers to reflect on the delicate balance between permanence and transience, between ideals and reality, as part of a constantly evolving, ever-challenged global community.Project supported by the Permanent Mission of Romania to the United Nations.
