We built our TENDA on the grounds of curiosity, the desire to discover and understand. Our aim was to foster true encounters with "the others": cultural groups, ethnic communities, minorities residing in the four national states.

The challenge we assumed was to experience and understand cultural heritage, especially intangible heritage, through a multitude of perspectives and using various methodologies. As we see it, interdisciplinarity has a fundamental role in shifting perceptions, challenging views, provoking a more thoughtful insight.

We’ve created artworks and cultural products that creatively re-imagine and explore layers of heritage, memory, identity and belonging - concepts which go beyond local, national, South or East or even European.  By this, hoping to enrich and deepen reflections on what it means ‘to be’, culturally.
