Chasing Light

Over the last ten years, the Faculty of Art and Design at West University of Timișoara has developed into one of the most important driving forces for culture in Romania. The vibrant arts scene around the campus helped the city establish itself as a hotspot for art and was instrumental in Timișoara being named European City of Culture in 2023.
In 2025, the faculty is celebrating its thirty-fifth anniversary. Chasing Light traces the footsteps of some of its outstanding and internationally successful graduates—including Olah Gyarfas, Laurian Popa, Dinu Bodiciu, Diana Marincu and Bogdan Rața—and provides fascinating insights into the creative epicenter of this western Romanian city.
