About FESTIBA

FESTIBA 2022-2023

Transforming Our World through Arts and Literacy


A work of art has the power to move, whether it is a song, a play, a poem, a novel, or a painting. When we are touched, we are moved; we are transported to a new place as we become aware of a feeling that may not be unfamiliar to us but which we did not actively focus on before. This transformative experience is what art is constantly seeking. The creative and cultural arts represent one of the few areas in our society where people can come together to share an experience, even if they see the world in radically different ways. The important thing is not that we agree about the experience that we share, but that we consider it worthwhile sharing an experience at all. In art and other forms of cultural expression, disagreement is accepted and embraced as an essential ingredient. In this sense, the emotions and experiences created by the creative and cultural arts is potentially a great source of inspiration for bringing people together and transforming communities.The imagery of FESTIBA 2022-2023 includes the Monarch Butterfly, considered to be the most beautiful of all butterflies in the world.  It has been said that they represent strength, endurance, spirituality, trust, sustaining what they believe, transformation and evolution.
