The Olympiad of Culture

 

... is a /real and virtual/ meeting of cultures and civilizations through which artists give meaning to life, sustainable development and respect for created and new works - works of art are both material, cultural and spiritual heritage that create signs, languages and scripts for a rational reading of the past, present and future of humanity - the space/time in which artists create is special and enables multiple connections between cultural and civilizational values and their meanings, precious to every person and their society - the unique planetary experience through which the contemporary world is passing obliges, here and now, to find and establish human relationships with the knowledge that they are unimaginable without artists and art - faced with the reality of isolation, real borders/walls and prohibitions conditioned by wars and conflicts lived at a distance and with those closest to them, the absence of an interested audience and art critic and the public, artists use new technologies and innovations and look for the necessary answers to dramatic challenges and, more than ever, do not renounce their mission of freedom of creation to which they are dedicated and real connections with the community - confirm that exercising the right to culture is an inalienable right of every human being, like the right to life, freedom and peace, health, education, work and movement and the choice of place of life and connections - testify through their creative works and messages to the world that artists, in all circumstances, contribute to mutual understanding and the survival of cultures and civilizations and that they deserve essentially important and influential positions in every society as drivers of key and

productive changes and guarantors of memory and openness of every society and humanity.
