The Independent Group for Culture / Független Intézmények Kulturális Szövetsége, i.e. GICu/FIKuSz is a meeting and reflection group of operators from the Cluj independent scene. The group met in the spring of 2022 with the aim of intervening for the well-being of Cluj's non-profit cultural sector and for the protection of culture and cultural production processes. In the summer of 2022, GICu/FIKuSz drafts the "MANIFEST FOR CULTURE AS A COMMON GOOD IN CLUJ-NAPOCA", which was launched at TIFF (Transylvania International Film Festival) on the occasion of the twenty-first edition of the festival. The GICu/FIKuSz initiative is a reconnection and an update of the Independent Group for Culture (GICu), formed in 2006 at Casa Tranzit. When we meet, in various forms, we manage to discuss the challenges facing the local and national cultural scene, the cultural policies and public institutions, as well as how to position ourselves tactically in this hour. The group is informal, the doors are open to anyone who wants to get involved in a constructive dialogue about the local cultural scene.

This time we want to meet local Cultural Institutes, get to know the people behind them and the policies and directions that Cultural Institutes are currently considering.
