LEISURE IN THE WORKING-CLASS DISTRICT

LEISURE IN THE WORKING-CLASS DISTRICT

The project focuses on the well-being in communist worker neighborhoods, exploring the positive outcomes, if any, resulting from the forced creation of these communities. It delves into the ways in which people in such areas seek to escape their confinement. This is a topic that has occupied my thoughts extensively, yet remains unresolved. Symbolic of the hundreds of such neighborhoods that emerged before 1989, Grui District in Câmpulung stands out, representing the thousands of apartment blocks where people found themselves relocated, and the villages simply erased from the map. It also represents the descendants of these workers, who will never know what life would have been like if things had been different.
