Cetate Neighbourhood - A world in the mirror
The year 2022 puts the spotlight on the literature and poetry that celebrate Timișoara, doubled by illustrating the allegory of the olfactory sense by capitalizing on the urban myth of the city of roses, which recreates the atmosphere of the Cetate from now and before - an atmosphere that is also transposed virtually, with the help of the latest technologies available. The selection of literary texts collected by prof. univ. dr. Smaranda Vultur and assistant univ. dr. Roxana Rogobete, the memories from the oral history of Timisoara capitalized by the Group of Oral History and Cultural Anthropology are combined with the original poems, created for Spotlight Heritage Timisoara, by the well-known Timisoara poet Robert Șerban.
