Overview

The theme of the 9th edition of the International Cultural Festival of Contemporary Art reflects the vital role that contemporary art can play in addressing global challenges. In the current geopolitical climate of escalating crises, this ethos has a particularly deep resonance worldwide. Art is not merely a means of expression; it can also act as a bridge that transcends borders and unites people. Significantly, it provides a means

for us all to communicate and understand one another, despite cultural and political differences.

‘Beyond Boundaries’ has been chosen as the title and theme for this year’s festival because it aligns with this ethos. It encapsulates our aims - personal and professional - to break down traditional barriers of all kinds. This chosen title also reaffirms our belief that art, with its expressive power and deep-rooted symbolism, can serve as an effective tool for driving positive change within societies.
