Spotlight Heritage Timisoara

Happenings

Spotlight Heritage Timisoara Project tells the multiple stories of Timișoara through digital technologies, stories of cultural and historical heritage, of technical development, of communities and neighborhoods, interwoven with the personal stories of past and present inhabitants, through the digital overlay of intangible heritage of books, memories, oral histories and art, while five women guide the project every year.

The "Happenings" section represents the digital and physical itineraries of the Iosefin (2019), Elisabetin (2020), Fabric (2021), Cetate (2022) and Giroc (2023) neighbourhoods and reveals their stories through several layers: theatre and street dance, events, performances and digital installations, scenography (props, virtual effects, audio-video, olfactory stimulation with chemical demonstrations) which are carried out periodically with the active involvement of students and citizens.

These events represent the executive team's desire to innovate the way a city's history and built heritage are presented to the general public in an attractive, artistic, dynamic and attractive way, in order to facilitate cultural awareness and education, especially for the younger generations, and to highlight multiculturalism, diversity of ethnicities, architectural styles and historical journeys by providing stories worth preserving and cherishing.

The Spotlight Heritage Timișoara Passport

The Spotlight Heritage Timișoara Passport inspires you to discover Timisoara and the cultural activities of Spotlight Heritage Timisoara, to embrace the diversity of artistic events.

Do you miss rediscovering Timișoara at your own pace and falling in love with it again? Are you curious about the stories and histories of the people and places that made the city great? Do you love music, dance, theatre, but equally mobile, VR and technology? Then ask for the Spotlight Heritage Timișoara Passport and attend the project events!

How to use the SHT Passport: attend each of the 12 major activities in 2023 and you will get a SHTM23 cultural footprint. The more activities you attend, the more stamps you get.

Participants who successfully complete their project passport by December 31st, 2023, will be eligible for special rewards and gifts.

Spotlight Heritage Timișoara 2023: Iosefin (2019), Elisabetin (2020), Fabric (2021), Cetate (2022), all the previous districts and Giroc (2023) is the digital cultural initiative of Politehnica University of Timisoara, realized in partnership with The National Museum of Banat, part of the Programme Timisoara European Capital of Culture 2023. Cultural project co-financed by Timisoara Municipality through the Project Centre, The Timiș County Council.
