Foreword
Aquatim actively supports culture by being part of it. The 7th edition of the Timisoara International Street Art
Festival (FISART 2017) is such an example. The artists who joined the festival were given green light from Aquatim to
work on several decommissioned industrial buildings and other spaces within the Bega and Urseni Water Treatment
Plant of Timisoara. The company also provided opportunities for the public interested to see these spectacular new
sights, organizing open doors and guided tours of the plant.
The intervention made by FISART 2017 in the water treatment plant’s space has been a remarkable one. We
therefore have chosen to carry on the good work and publish this catalog, presenting the pieces of artwork that are
now part of our assets and of the urban landscape and cultural heritage.
Timisoara is one of the European Capitals of Culture for 2021 and the release of this catalog into the regional,
national and international cultural media proves that Aquatim has assumed an active role, as a partner of the
municipality, for the implementation of this important project.
