The 'Land of Fire' exhibition at Kunsthalle Bega examines the often-ignored colonial projects of Romania, foregrounding Iuliu Popper's violent legacy in Tierra del Fuego and the genocide against the Selk'nam. Curated by Cosmin Costinaș and others, it also includes significant Romanian involvement in broader colonial expeditions across the globe. The exhibition aims to reveal the intertwined narratives of Romania's self-image as a nation of oppressed peasants and the dark realities of its colonial engagements, especially relevant in understanding the ideologies behind 20th-century genocides.
The exhibition titled 'Land of Fire' at Kunsthalle Bega explores Romania's colonial past, particularly the legacy of Iuliu Popper’s violent actions against the Selk'nam people.
Curator Cosmin Costinaș, alongside Mona Vătămanu and Florin Tudor, takes a thorough investigative approach, linking Romania's colonial history to ideologies shaping 20th-century genocides.
