The Romanian Gypsy wagon—long a symbol of Roma resilience and nomadic wisdom—serves as a foundational metaphor for incontext.art: a mobile vessel of identity, autonomy, and cultural continuity. More than a historical artifact, it represents an alternative epistemology—one where knowledge is transmitted through movement, craft, and communal memory, resisting assimilation while fostering self-determined forms of education and expression in relation to local resources.
Concept
This ethos of self-reliance and creative adaptation informs our curatorial vision, centering practices that emerge from lived experience, intergenerational skill, and the reinvention of heritage as living action. The wagon becomes a school without walls, a studio in motion, and a model for decentralized cultural impact—challenging static institutions by privileging fluidity, reciprocity, and embodied learning. We support artistic practices rooted in these principles, amplifying voices that navigate margins not as deficits, but as sites of innovation, resistance, and transformative knowledge.
Art, design and the production of new materials made of upcycled waste: Wood, Textiles, Ceramic, Plane glass.

Circular economy model implemented for each school brunch as a tool for sustainability.
An ambulatory school in a wagon that needs no licence, equipped with an educational kit that follows the basic curriculum of In Context School (theory) and a set of technological equipment for the practical side, based of the analyses of each community consumerist behaviour, local resources and municipal waste composition, with a focus on reusable waste that is not regulated as recyclable, an average of 3% of the total generated according to statistics.
