Through the projects and events carried out, the Western University of Timișoara assumes the position of the epicenter of the generation and promotion of cultural initiatives and projects, in the perspective of the year "Timișoara 2023 - European Capital of Culture". Under generic "At UVT, Culture is Capital!", the academic community from UVT supports conferences, performances, debates, book launches and film screenings, multimedia productions and contemporary art and creation programs, promoted in Timișoara and nationally and internationally.
In this series, on Wednesday, September 15, the book launch event signed by the journalist took place Melania the Fifth, "15 to the Fifth Power" (Humanitas, 2021).
The volume includes a collection of interviews conducted by Melania Cincea with 15 well-known cultural and public personalities in the Romanian public space. Two of the interviewees are Adriana Babeți and Mircea Mihăieș from Timisoara, acclaimed academics and writers, representative figures of both culture and the academic community in UVT. They participated in the event together with the author of the volume and her guests.
There are interviews with people of culture, "with people who, through their work and the conferences they support, open horizons, change mentalities for the better and shape towards more beautiful consciousnesses, represent an escape from the professional routine. I am like a breath of fresh air in a sometimes oppressive, even suffocating environment, both for the journalist and the public. I had the chance to meet such people and interview them", said Melania Cincea.
