Proiectul SAME-DIFFERENT, primul de acest gen in Romania, pune in discutie politicile sexuale, probleme care trezesc dezbateri intense in toata lumea. Fiind conceput ca un eveniment complex – SAME-DIFFERENT – va cuprinde mai multe sectiuni: expozitie, Library Lounge, masa rotunda, proiectii video.
SAME-DIFFERENT project is first of this kind in Romania and deals with sexual politics, an intense disputed issue all over the world. Conceived as a complex event SAME-DIFFERENT – will include: exhibition, Library Lounge, round-table, film screenings.
 
Selectia materialelor incluse in expozitie demonstreaza ca arta poate fi un mijloc excelent prin care pot fi influentate mentalitatile, mai ales in sisteme sociale/culturale in care astfel de subiecte sunt, in general, evitate. Lucrarile realizate in cele mai diverse medii – video, fotografie, obiect, instalatie – puncteaza perspectiva si contextul specific locului de unde vine fiecare artist.
În spatiul expozitional curatoarea a gandit si un Library Lounge care va oferi spre consultare o vasta documentatie pe aceasta tema precum si cataloage ale artistilor.
The exhibition selection demonstrates that art might be an excelent media to change mentalities, especially in the social/cultural systems where these kind of issues are, generally, avoided. The works use different media – video, photography, object, installation – and shows the diversity of backgrounds and contexts of every artists.
In the exhibition space the curator includes a Library Lounge, with documentation and artists catalogues.
