The conference aims to celebrate the diverse spectrum of art and design practices from around the globe. With participants from various cultural backgrounds, the event provides a platform for artists, designers, scholars, and enthusiasts to converge and exchange ideas. The conference will explore the myriad ways art and design intersect with society, technology, and the environment, from traditional to contemporary, local to global.

Fostering Dialogue and Innovation

At the heart of the conference lies a commitment to fostering dialogue and innovation. Through keynote speeches, panel discussions, workshops, and exhibitions, participants will engage in critical discourse on topics ranging from the role of art in social change to the impact of technology on design aesthetics.
