Culture Palace Moufdi Zakaria
The 9th edition of the International Cultural Festival of Contemporary Art embraces the transformative power of art in a world burdened by crisis and division. Under the theme “Beyond Boundaries,” the festival celebrates art’s ability to transcend borders, dismantle barriers, and foster dialogue among cultures and communities.
In an age marked by conflict, displacement, and social fragmentation, contemporary art emerges as a universal language—one that unites rather than divides, heals rather than harms. It serves as a bridge between identities, offering space for empathy, reflection, and shared humanity.
“Beyond Boundaries” is more than a theme; it is a declaration of intent. It affirms a belief in art’s soft power to challenge prejudice, resist marginalisation, and inspire collective awareness. The festival calls upon artists and galleries from around the world to join in solidarity, using creativity as a tool for transformation and understanding.
Rooted in cultural diversity and openness, this edition envisions art not as a luxury, but as an essential force for thought, dialogue, and social change. Through its global platform, the festival seeks to empower artists to expand their reach, amplify their voices, and contribute to shaping a more compassionate, inclusive world—one artwork, one conversation, and one connection at a time.
