About the Festival

Programme

“Creativity is possible wherever human intelligence is actively engaged” – Ken Robinson

Inspired by this idea of a British author and educationalist, the theme of this year’s festival is genesis. The event will explore the notions of creation, creativity, and the creative process as a whole, emphasizing that creativity transcends the established norms and rigid knowledge. The creative process emerges through experiments and interaction with the world and is intertwined with the context. The outcome of the process may reflect, contemplate, predict, and make sense of everything an artist encounters.

The festival will encompass and reflect the entire creative alley, from inspiration and prediction to the process, interconnectedness, and transformation.
