The Interviews of Romania’s Craftspeople: Craftsman Emil Petrescu
Between 2020 and 2022, I interviewed over 20 craftspeople to study the phenomenon of traditional crafts disappearance in Romania. Peasant fairs are organized all over the country. If you’d like to visit one while in Bucharest, check out the Facebook page of the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant or its Instagram account.
