01 / 05

Adelina Toma

Creative Director and Entrepreneur at Itse

Collective

01 / Adelina Toma

Creative Director and Entrepreneur at Itse

Closely connected to her instincts, roots, and human impulses, Adelina allows the chaos within her to breathe, managing to translate it into the most fragile, delicate forms. Silks, naturally pigmented fabrics, dresses, shirts, and veils reveal her vulnerability and its many facets, in her small studio on Braziliei Street.

02 / Radu Caragea

Activist, Citezenship Elementary Teacher, Bassist at OCS

Radu’s childhood was shaped by the maternal figures in his life, who instilled in him a strong sense of responsibility and care. Administrative Director of the Funky Citizens NGO and a middle-school civics teacher, Radu discovered later in life that responsibility and freedom can coexist, and that there is a wildness and rebellious streak within him that can be expressed… through music.

03 / Cristina Chiosea

Musician, Musictherapist, Activist

For a long time, music was nothing more than a standard of perfection Cristina felt pressured to achieve. Much later, when she discovered the drums, she began to understand music on her own terms, rather than through the eyes of those around her, expressing what words could not. She returned to the piano with renewed curiosity and longing, eventually transforming musical instruments into pathways to healing, both her own and that of others.

DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

DIFFERENT PATHS.

ONE MANIFESTO.

04 / ATOMA

Street Artist

The responsibility of being a source of support and doing what was right defined Atoma’s childhood. With little encouragement from those around her, Atoma did not have to discover her own path, but simply to follow it. The call of freedom through art had been her only option since childhood. Today, she explores life’s vulnerabilities through street art and painting, creating manifesto-like works that embody her extraordinary inner strength.

05 / Robert Cristea

Head Roaster la Guido

Robert is a shy guy. He doesn’t say much and rarely reveals what he feels. He speaks softly and keeps a whole world hidden within him, one that few people get to access. For him, coffee is a medium through which he can connect with others, communicate what words cannot always express, feel what others feel and allow himself to be seen.
