Situated in the heart of the city, Grădina Cișmigiu (Cișmigiu Garden) is one of the oldest public gardens of Bucharest (built in the first half of the 19th century), with a surface of 16ha, mixing local and exotic vegetation. 30.000 trees were brought from the Romanian mountains and the exotic plants were imported from the Vienna's Botanical Garden. The swamp in the middle was transformed into an artificial lake crossed by two decorative bridges. The initial design was made by the German landscape architect Carl Meyer, living in Bucharest at the time. Later, it was modified by different landscapers, but the main frame was kept intact. Over a year, in the park are 55 species of birds and their total number can attend hundreds of thousands. * Anamaria Pravicencu organizes sound related events in Cișmigiu Garden since 2016, together with Cișmigiu Civic Initiative, around topics as the quality of the sonic environment and the health of the hearing, a 2 years survey in the form of a sound map (400 measurements, ~200 recordings), sound walks and sound workshops, petitions, informative programs online and offline. Anamaria Pravicencu is a sound artist and the curator of www.semisilent.ro portfolio. Pravicencu is a founding member of CENSE - Central European Network for Sonic Ecologies, www.cense.earth. Vlad Hodrea is a cultural communicator and sound artist; occasionally, he is a journalist and a DJ. Photo of the Cișmigiu blackbirds by Georgian Constantin.
