As an artist with Romanian roots and international experience, Alina Teodorescu combines her interest in the preservation of the Romanian traditional heritage with projects that facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration between artists, scientists and communities in need.
Her work consist of sculptural objects, video, photography, performance and socially engaged participatory projects that address urgent ethical issues, critically reflecting on the new paradigms of environmental sustainability, climate change and habitat loss.
She is the founder of In Context Slanic Moldova where she conducted several research-based projects and collaborations with creatives and the local community affected by migration and environmental degradation.
Her large scale site-specific interventions involving processes of upcyling discharged furniture, textiles, and urban debris challenge passive consumption by transforming waste and natural elements into poignant installations that address sustainability, memory, and collective responsibility.
Alina Teodorescu participated in several international exhibitions and residency programs in Europe, America and Asia emphasising participation, climate activism and innovative reuse of materials.
Her portfolio reflects a commitment to purpose-driven art that bridges aesthetic innovation with urgent ecological themes, exploring ancient artisan traditions and the narratives in forgotten resources that celebrate the universal need for renewal.
