This area has an incredible historical and architectural patrimony, but its inhabitants are victims of social exclusion. Many are retired and unemployed, and most of them are Tziganes. The area is wellknown for its industrial history. The question of urban partition and embedded social mobility are key issues here.

Since 2006, the French Institute of Timisoara organizes artistic activities and cultural in this district, involving the local inhabitants, and in particular the SurExpositions festival. International meetings of contemporary photographs, the festival presents various exhibitions and conferences and aims at showing the rising generation of photographers.

The French Institute of Timisoara asked the collective Encore Heureux to be curators of the edition 2011 of SurExpositions. They thus exposed to the museum of art a photographic work carried out on the spot , during workshops gathering French and Rumanian photographers. Telephone mobile in hand, the architects collected the strong moments of the preparation of the exhibition, and made a film of it.
