Visual documentation and personal narratives from Chilia Veche—a living archive of place and memory.
Photographs, maps, and videos help document landscapes that are constantly changing.
This archive is intended to grow—capturing seasons, events, faces, and details that might otherwise be lost. Each image is a record of a moment in time along the river.
Personal stories from fishermen and residents provide insight into daily life, memory, and resilience.
These voices are the archive's foundation. Through interviews and recorded conversations, patterns emerge—how knowledge is transmitted, how the past is remembered, how the future is imagined.
Oral history resists neat chronology. It loops back, repeats, contradicts. But it captures what documents cannot: tone, emphasis, silence, feeling.
