In recent years, Save or Cancel has promoted the local street art scene, inviting artists to express their visions in the street art programme “Un-hidden Romania”. Together with several partners, friends and artists, the Save or Cancel team (Cristina Popa & Andrei Racovițan) managed to create 42 murals and street art interventions in 4 cities (Brasov, Bucharest, Constanta and Iasi), together with 31 visual artists and 6 musicians from 5 countries (Italy, Japan, Romania, Republic of Moldova and UK), which you can see below in detail. The first print run was a limited edition of 150 copies, published during the Un-hidden Romania project, co-financed by AFCN.

 “The Un-hidden Romania” catalogue, published in 2023, presents some of these amazing murals and street art interventions by active and independent artists such as Aeul & Dan Andrei (soundtrack), Aito Kitazaki [Japan], Alexa Lincu & Xandru, Andrei Felea, Bea Hopes & Bucurie (soundtrack), ILUC, iZZY iZVNE [Republic of Moldova], John Dot S, Livi Po, Maria Bălan & Dragutesku (soundtrack), Mister Thoms, Ortaku, Pisica Patrata & Vlad Caia (binaural soundtrack), Romb, SANDi & Oana (soundtrack), Serebe, Skinny Bunny, Sorina Vazelina & Primitiv Print, and Wanda Hutira.
