Street Delivery 2019 - Rediscovery. Beauty. Kindness.


In a busy, fast-paced life and consuming context of energy and feelings, we often forget to stop and pay close attention to what we have around us, and especially to our own self. We also forget to take the initiative and remember that it’s not all about material values. It's about ...

Rediscovery. Beauty. Kindness.

These three words describe, in the most modest and humble way, the second edition of Street Delivery Craiova - "Poetry is in the street", which gave to the people of Craiova a totally changed and surprising Kogălniceanu street, in the first weekend of September.

There are places we pass by everyday and we never stop to appreciate their beauty. Maybe because they are not valued so that they attract our attention or maybe because we do not have time. And just when someone rediscovers them, the reality hits us: what we missed. Really now, what did we miss? And why?

The Summer Garden "Jean Negulescu" has been transformed into an urban dining room, together with the courtyard of the French Library "Omnia", which was also a stage for concerts, debates, film screenings or just a place to sit and reflect. The end of Theodor Aman street has become a sports venue, Bazarul Craiovei now looks different thanks to Eminescu, and each part of Kogălniceanu street was no longer a simple road, with parking spaces and traffic.

What does Street Delivery actually mean? Social, urban, cultural initiatives, brought together in pne place, without material interests, which aim to restore the spaces of a city, give them back to the inhabitants and rediscover their potential. Thanks to them, there were more things happening on the street than we would have imagined: reading room, exhibition hall, t-shirt painting workshop, a virtual restaurant, a recycling workshop, bar, cafe, test track for scooters, minute cartoon salon, unique clothing store, green area and, overall, a place where the world can sit, observe and truly see the beauty. And they saw it.

Unbelievable how many things can fit on such a small street. But this comes only from someone with a big soul, who loves these places enough to make them shine.

Not powerful, not ostentatious and indecent, but exactly with the necessary dose of light to make you think...

"Listen, look and shut up! ...
Listen, to learn to talk,
Look, so you learn to build.
And shut up, to understand what to do ...
Listen, look and shut up! ”- Ion Minulescu
