WORLD HERITAGE ART FESTIVAL 2021-2022
The Art Pivot, a centre for contemporary art and ideas is organizing “World Heritage Art Festival 2021-2022” to promote Art and spread awareness for Art in an effort to increase local as well as foreign Artists in our country. In this modern world we had almost forgotten our cultural values and the heritage we inherited from our ancestors and to promote these forgotten values and cultural paradigm that is no more inculcated in our younger generations through Various Art forms and theatre. The fact that the global village of the 21st Century with its versatile cross continental communication capacity has redefined the value, dissemination and role of culture in human interaction. If the place of global inter-cultural and cross-continental influence during the era

of Marco Polo, Vasco da Gama, Zheng He, Ibn Battuta and their peers in the era of enlightenment that followed later were marvels, then, the future holds greater marvels considering that social media has broken hitherto impervious boundaries. The emerging cross-continental communication opportunities provide an unprecedented platform from which to share value systems, cultures, beliefs and traditions of people across the globe. It is now upon you to give the content that will be shared—both implicitly and explicitly—the texture of universality, application and relevance in the ever growing industrial world. In the last decades of the 20th century, the term heritage was characterized by expansion and semantic transfer, resulting in the generalization of the use of the word at large, frequently used in place of others, such as monument and cultural property. However, all these terms are not able to cover the semantic fields. We at Art Pivot took initiative to approach the heritage through Art and envisioned the modern society to thrive and dive in the ancient values through a rather indirect approach of ideas where we can express our gratitude and admiration to our ancient values and traditions. The World Heritage Art Festival is a celebration of our ancient traditions which are losing its importance in this modern era. Calling upon the International artists and Indian artists to work together and through their Art, we will try to spread and educate the richness of our ‘Heritage’ to benefit the culture at large.
