Ioana moves between writing, cooking, and cultural work. Their current focus lies in writing and sharing about rurality, intimacy, and interpersonal relationships. Ioana's practice spans hosting, experimental and informal publishing, walks, and other collective projects, exploring themes of migration, seasonal labor, and memory. They facilitate writing clubs, care for Kiosk Rotterdam Bookshop, and run a traveling poetry library called Fleeting Desires. They are a member of Seasonal Neighbors, a collective that explores the material and social transformations of rural life, paying close attention to agricultural practices, food systems, and seasonal labor migration.

On 22nd October 2023, we transformed the parking lot of a local cafe in Wortel into a gathering space for locals and passersby. The scene featured two large-scale printed canvases, one depicting a Bucovina landscape and the other an image from the village. Guest Andreea Handragel led singing connecting with her heritage while a spontaneous hora dance ensued, blending awkwardness with warmth. The event is the result of a residency done by the artists a month prior.

How to: reward and punish, was a three-week (online) residency; and the last of a series of annual residencies organized by CCA in Montreal. Selected through an open call, ten architectural thinkers with complementary practices were brought together to better understand the role architectural awards play in the industry at large. We co-produce a soft tactical guide that can facilitate a re-reading of the awarding practice through play, mantras, actions and public tactics.
