What is the festival theme?
Tell me more...
The theme for this year’s arts festival is “care”. We’re asking artists to express what they care about through their chosen form of art.
We make choices daily related to the things we care about. Our actions or our lack of actions impact others around us, which in turn can influence and inspire our collective efforts towards a promising and sustainable future.
We are interconnected as a Global Jamat. By exploring the relationship between our personal interconnectivity and how it influences the care we extend to the things we share, such as our planet, our environment, our Jamat, our heritage, and ourselves, we can stregthen our identity and also unitedly address the crucial challenges of our era.
Through your art, show care for...
