29th Annual Festival of Alternative Art. Event Horizon
 
The 29th Annual Festival of Alternative Art, Event Horizon, explores the concept borrowed from astrophysics as a metaphorical framework for artistic expression. An event horizon—the boundary between known and unknown, inner and outer worlds—symbolizes the limits of understanding and the potential for discovery.
This festival invites artists to bridge the gap between internal emotional landscapes and the external world, using diverse mediums like language, painting, installation, and film. It seeks works that challenge conventions, reveal the unseen, and offer fresh perspectives on political, social, and existential realities.
Through this exploration, Event Horizon aims to push boundaries, fostering new ways of representing and understanding our shared, complex world. Artists are encouraged to propose projects that make the invisible visible, creating a gateway to deeper insight and innovative decision-making tools.
