  1. The exhibition Anti-Communist Resistance in Nucșoara: Family Portraits

Memoirs on Romanian prisons often document the horrors inflicted by the communist regime. Yet, there are comparatively few accounts chronicling the plight of the tens of thousands from rural areas who endured the Romanian gulag. Ioana Voicu-Arnăuțoiu’s exhibition pays homage to this overlooked demographic, featuring portraits of 33 families who either joined or supported the Arnăuțoiu brothers’ resistance group in Nucșoara. The exhibition was organised in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the trials and executions of those involved in the anti-communist resistance in Nucșoara (1959).
