An International Open Call Exhibition That Reaches for Tomorrow
Born from visions of the future
A philosophy free from the confines of philosophy itself
Awakening awareness of everyday life and society
Expressible in words, yet never diminished by them
Unbound by conventional authority or prestige
Breaking free from fixed forms with flashes of insight
Expression that truly embodies the spirit of art
