Stone Research, Conservation, and Restoration Camp, Țara Făgărașului Romania @ Jewish and other cemeteries, Făgăraș, Romania
Sep 23 – Sep 30 all-day
Stone Research, Conservation, and Restoration Camp, Țara Făgărașului Romania @ Jewish and other cemeteries, Făgăraș, Romania | Romania

The Stone Research, Conservation, and Restoration Camp is a unique experience that will take place from September 23 to 30, in Țara Făgărașului, Southern Transylnvaina. Together with stone preservation expert  Dr. Sidonia Olea volunteers will work on stone conservation and restoration at the Jewish Cemetery in Făgăraș and in several Christian Orthodox cemeteries in the region. The aim of the Stone Restoration Camp is to form a team dedicated to intervention, rescue, and maintenance of stone monuments and heritage in Tara Fagarasului.

Conserving and restoring funeral monuments is aimed at safeguarding as well as avoiding their loss. Degradation is a phenomenon that cannot be controlled and which in time affects funeral monuments. It is the obligation of restorers to intervene in time to save such monuments from destruction. Often, emergency interventions are needed in graveyards, given the advanced state of degradation of many funeral monuments.

Coordinated by Dr. Olea and heritage activists Dr. Stefan Cibian, this camp is open to all interested in contributing to the conservation and promotion of cultural heritage. The event will take place in person and will offer participants the opportunity to engage in a variety of practical restoration activities and learn from experts in the field.

The camp will take place in Făgăraș and in the region (Țara Făgărașului), including in Beclean, Bohlț, Bucium, Calbor, and Șona.
 
NOTE: The organizers will offer all necessary materials for the restoration activities,  also, a small snack will be offered for lunch. All other expenses are to be covered by the participants. 

To attend, register here.
