CALL FOR ENTRIES

Submission Deadline: 30th May 2025

We are excited to announce an invitation call for members of the Faculty of Creative Multimedia and artists from all disciplines to participate in our upcoming exhibition,Β 

"SUSTAINAISSANCE: Emotion. Expression. Identity"

“SUSTAINAISSANCE” is a creative exploration of sustainability as a driving force for renewal and transformation. This exhibition brings together diverse artistic expressionsβ€”including visual arts, video, photography, and multimedia installationsβ€”to examine how sustainability shapes emotions, fuels creative expression, and redefines identity.

Through a fusion of traditional and digital media, artists reimagine personal and collective narratives, offering fresh perspectives on environmental consciousness, cultural evolution, and human connection. From paintings and sculptures to immersive augmented reality experiences, each artwork serves as a bridge between the past and the future, inviting audiences to reflect on the role of creativity in shaping a more sustainable world.
