Artists in Romania have often speak to us about their fight against injustice. They also told us that discrimination is the cancer of social life. They wear a double mask: mask of Savior (who try to do the best in a mad world) and mask of fantom (trying to have support for their mission).
The invisibility of people with disability, and also of migrant people, the Roma community, the various forms of alienation of which they are victims, currently represent the most massive invisibilization in social life. Our documentary offers a plunging vision.
Since 2014 Ana has been an artivist, an artist who fights for more social justice, to prevent violence against people who are invisible and have specific needs in the cultural space. This born Artivist does not question her project of offering art in all its forms and to all audiences, sometimes putting her life in danger. Even after recently receiving death threats for threatening the identity of Romanian culture, Ana finds gestures of solidarity practical when ideology and financial means are lacking.
