The Horizontal Newspaper

Together
2021-2022

The Horizontal Newspaper is a public space art project initiated in 2010 by artist Dan Perjovschi, as invited by FITS. Each new edition of the “newspaper” is inaugurated at the start of every new edition of FITS, though “articles” are drawn throughout the year. This is the longest in-progress project in the artist’s career.

The Horizontal Newspaper is a collaboration between Dan Perjovschi, the “Radu Stanca” National Theatre Sibiu and the Sibiu City Hall.

The edition entitled “Together” is dedicated to the global, continental, national, local, and personal solidarity and resilience between people in times of crisis.
