Odyssey 2023
An artistic quest on the theme of the Odyssey -how it survived for centuries
19-30 Jun 2024
12 days of artistic effort aiming to create a collection of individual or group works in free visual or acoustic expression
The theme of the Odyssey has often occupied art along its path.
It is a story of a search, in space and time but also in consciousness. It raises questions of values and invites endless philosophical inquiry.
Each artist is free to express himself on this subject with individual and collective work. Guided but also free-flowing discussions can enrich inspiration.
