Q-Arts Association
Q-Arts Association has established in 2021 the Abandonment Museum, a digital and participatory museum-forum project that aims to map the culture of abandonment and to give a historical narrative of the phenomenon of child abandonment in Romania. The Museum of Abandonment is the first digital museum institution in Romania, containing immersive and virtual reality exhibitions, but above all it is a platform that has opened the much needed dialogue about the immense trauma of abandonment in Romania.
As part of CARE's humanitarian intervention with SERA Romania Foundation and FONPC in support of Ukrainian refugees, the Q-Arts Association ran a journalistic and educational project entitled Baggage of Abandonment. The project archived dozens of stories about one of the most difficult forms of abandonment, the one refugees experience when they are forced to abandon their country, their home, their family, their life as they knew it in order to flee from war. Baggage of Abandonment is a social mediation project aimed at raising awareness of war trauma to facilitate integration, tolerance and acceptance.
