The 8th edition of the Festival promotes intercultural dialogue by focusing on revealing the hidden, the veiled, the lost and forgotten. The Festival will consist of exhibitions, a symposium with lectures, workshops, guided tours, a residence program, portfolio review and publications.

Tickle Attack

Tickle Attack is about Humor, Laughter, Irony, Paradox and Absurd. Artists should submit photography-based projects that express and reflect different artistic perspectives and interpretations through various cultural backgrounds.
