Thus, until Sunday, September 18, ten works signed by Raluca Ciornea and Felicia Simion [photography], Ștefan Radu Crețu and Misha Diaconu [sculpture], Wanda Hutira and Alex Nimurad [illustration], Rizi [interactive art], Tammy Lovin [digital art], Adina Grapa [clothing design], Contemporia [jewelry] can be viewed at the SENAT Gallery (29 Baiculesti St.).

During the launch event, which brought together over 400 participants (entrepreneurs, artists, creators, business and media representatives), the exhibited works were bidded during a silent auction. The funds raised during the auction will be donated in full to the ANAIS Association, one of the most active organizations in the sector of promoting, respecting and defending women’s rights in Romania.

“As one of the largest international companies, we have an even greater responsibility to generate a positive social impact. A priority direction locally is to support the cultural initiatives and communities of artists who, through their work and messages, bring to the fore values such as inclusion, diversity, innovation, sustainability and courage. We thank our partners in the project, because together we can build on these values and contribute to building A Better Tomorrow “, BAT representatives said.

“Through its programs, ANAIS Association has so far given a voice to more than 12,000 women in Romania (meaning legal counseling programs for those who have gone through complicated situations, emotional counseling or even shelter), since its establishment in 2011. Each of us has the power to change something, through gestures that may seem small to us, but significant to others. That’s why we are happy to be part of this project, which gathers more social actors – this means that the voices of women in Romania have already been heard and that we are taking steps forward,” Carmen Nemeș, President of the ANAIS Association says.
