Acasă, la origini

Acasă, la origini is a non-profit association based in București, Romania working on heritage, arts & culture, community development.

Acasă, la origini is a cultural heritage project initiated and coordinated by the Asociația La Blouse Roumaine IA. It aims to recover and document the traditional costume of Romania as it is still worn and preserved in rural communities, including in regions inhabited by Romanians and in the diaspora. The project works with volunteers who photograph communities and record their stories, and it organises itinerant documentary exhibitions and costume exhibitions, such as those held in Făgăraș, Vâlcea, Brașov and at the Dimitrie Gusti National Village Museum in Bucharest. Its stated aim is to help local communities rediscover, value and pass on their cultural identity to future generations. The project was created in 2020, and the initiating community has organised the Ziua Universală a Iei since 2013.
