This year an international project titled Hidden Worlds Expanding, including in the Tartu 2024 - European Capital of Culture programme, seeks to raise the visibility and inclusion of people in need of special support, and boost their self-confidence through art creation.

The project has also branched out to Romania via the ART IN/SANE exhibition hosted by ARCUB in central Bucharest. Estonian Art historian Eva Laantee Reintamm and the director of Kondas Center in Viljandi, Estonia, Mari Vallikivi, visited the art exhibition in Bucharest and selected a number of works to be included in the project titled "Hidden Worlds Expanding". On the sidelines of their visits, the two Estonian curators also stopped at the Romanian Radio Broadcasting Corporation to talk to Eugen Cojocariu about the exhibition and the concept of "outsider art".
