Negreni (Feketetó, "Black Lake”) is a small village in Romania, where a national fair has been held every autumn since the 19th century. In a multi-ethnic country, which is shared by Romanians, Hungarians, Roma, Jews and Saxons, it was natural that the fair should also be a meeting point of cultures.
Until the end of 20th century, musicians would bring along their instruments. It was enough to take a walk through the fair to enjoy the music of different ethnicities, with mutual influence being a very real, rather than virtual, experience.
"What Feketetó as a symbolic space means for me is the equal value of cultures: they connect, rather than divide, us. And it may be easier to respect and accept an ‘alien' culture if you can see your own face in it.” (Károly Cserepes)
