We also invited emerging dance curators from Startup Forum 2026, Djam Neguin (Portugal/Cabo Verde) and Agate Bankava (Latvia) to participate in the meeting; next to Springback writer Daria Ancuța.
Other attendees included: the chairman of Aerowaves’ board Willie White; the director of the Startup Forum and also a board member Betsy Gregory.
The group discussed hundreds of submissions from across Europe, as well as the wider activities of Aerowaves and its partners, met artists based in Romania, and attended the premiere of “Unauthorized Movements” at CNDB.
Many thanks to the team for hosting us over these busy days.
