6th November 2025 | Nomadic School | tranzit ro/ Iași (Sf. Atanasie, 25, Iași)
Tereza Stejskalová (tranzit.cz, Prague), Georg Schöllhammer (tranzit.at, Vienna), Dóra Hegyi (tranzit.hu, Budapest), Livia Pancu & Florin Bobu (tranzit ro/ Iași), Marius Alexandru Dan (independent researcher, Iași), Theo Prodromidis (independent artist, Athens), Mick Wilson (HDK-Valand/CAPIm, Gothenburg)
Cultural institutions usually operate locally, regionally and at most, at the national level, while wider, transnational configurations have been historically difficult to sustain both conceptually and infrastructurally. Attempting to answer how we connect remotely to places and people situated hundreds or thousands of kilometers away—across differences in infrastructure, resources, and political borders, this nomadic school brings together curators, historians, and artists to explore transnational cultural practices.
The public program includes a new art commission by artist Theo Prodromidis, a presentation on statehood and nation-building by historian Marius Alexandru Dan, and a discussion on transnational curating with representatives of tranzit.org network (Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Iași) moderated by Mick Wilson.

Theo Prodromidis, Alăgam frate, tu tuti părțâli (We're running, brother, in all directions)
new commission / ro /
OPENING:
Thursday, 6th of November, 2025, 7 p.m.
@tranzitiasi
Address: Str. Sf. Atanasie nr. 25, Iași
„We're running, brother, in all directions!" is a new work by Theo Prodromidis realized with tranzit ro/Iași in the frame of the project Institution(ing)s. At this moment it consists of four casted aluminium plaques of 15x20x 1,5 cm, on which one can read an inscription in Aromanian/Vlach language, written in Latin alphabet. One of the plaques was installed in August 2025 in the village of Vrysochori, Greece and one is installed on the building where tranzit.ro/Iași is located and open to the public starting with 6th of November 2025.
In Iași, the plaque is accompanied by two photographs from Vrysochori. The first photograph, taken in August 2025, depicts teenagers gathering in the main square of the village. Behind them stands a multifunctional building that serves as both the village council headquarters and post office. On its wall, next to the post box, one can distinguish the installed plaque mentioned above. The second photograph was taken by Theo Prodromidis during his visit to Vrysochori after returning from Iași in May 2025. It shows a silver gelatin print from approximately the 1920s depicting the peak Tsouka Rossa (2,379 m) on Mount Tymfi in the Zagori region, part of the Ioannina regional unit in Epirus, Greece.

Eugenia Morpurgo (Venice): Intentional Uncertainties. Biobased materials between caring and extractive practices.
12:00 – 14:00
The increasingly pressing ecological crisis requires design to question dominant production models, moving towards the use of biobased materials and the reorganisation of local and circular supply chains. With my work, I argue that such strategies, based on the principle of substitution, are not sufficient unless accompanied by a shift away from systems based on certainty in favour of approaches capable of embracing uncertainty as a necessary condition for embedding production within complex ecologies. Looking at plant and animal-based materials samples, we will critically discuss concepts such as regeneration, renewability, circularity, and bioregionalism, exploring how commoning practices allow us to embrace intentional uncertainties together.
