Dragos Alexandrescu, visual artist
As a professional actor the course was extremely important for my own further development in the profession. Malakta as a place is welcoming and extremely well functioning with everything from organising courses relevant to the regional cultural field. Highly recommend courses organised by and at Malakta.

Malakta is a creative oasis, a meeting place, a sanctuary, an artistic centre of creativity. Malakta is a colourful puzzle where all the pieces fit.
Heidi von Wright, author, poet and visual artist
Malakta is my second living room where creative ideas are born but also deep discussions about the meaning of life. For me, Malakta is a place for recreation and creativity, a safe place where I can go wherever I am in my creative process, when I have doubts and when I have flow. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The neighbourhood creates peace of mind. Everyone is welcome here, all nationalities, children and animals. Thanks to the great competence and professionalism of the artists at Malakta, I always learn something new.
