A Farewell Message from Dorian Branea, Director of RCI New York

DEAR FRIENDS, COLLEAGUES, AND PARTNERS,

After eight unforgettable years as Director of the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York, and in my 20th year of cultural diplomacy directorship, it is time for me to say goodbye.

This house, the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York, has been my home, but more importantly, it has been yours, our public. We did our best to make it a very busy place: hundreds of events, encounters, exchanges; a continuous stream of exhibitions, concerts, films, performances, debates, book launching events… A place of excitement, discovery, collaboration, and learning. But above all, a place of friendship.
