SPECIAL informat.ro/ 5 cultural activities with free entry from March 26 to 31

Sometimes you want to go out, but you stay home because many activities cost money? We have compiled a list of 5 recreational and/or cultural activities in Bucharest that won't cost you a dime:

Photo-Psychological Exhibition "Shadows of the Mind"; March 26; 6:00 PM; Casa Presei Libere (Scânteia+)

World-renowned photographer Roger Ballen, originally from South Africa, will hold an exhibition featuring eight photographic series that represent different stages of Ballen's work and provide an overview of his stylistic transition.

The photographs will also explore the "theater of the psyche", that is, those obscure, unconscious areas where reason no longer has control. The exhibition will be curated by Dr. Hercules Papaioannou, curator at MOMUS-Museum of Photography in Thessaloniki since 1999, an institution he also led from 2016 to 2018.

Magazine Launch, Indie-Alt-Rock Concert, and Afterparty; March 27; 7:00 PM; Club Control (Berlin Room and Front Room)

The magazine MATCA is launching a new issue, along with a concert, at Control club, in the Berlin room and front room. Doors open at 7 PM, at 7:45 the #12 issue of the magazine will be presented, featuring the work of photographer Ioana Moldovan, followed by a concert by the band "The Cryptonite Sparks". The trio does not conform to a specific musical genre, as their music is a mix of indie, alternative rock, and hard rock, with a modern vibe, perfect for Friday night energy.

If you want to leave later, Club Control is also organizing an after-party at 9 PM.
