Celebrating Day of Arts & Philosophy on Saturday, 21st June from 2pm.
Art has long been a means to express and perceive universal values of beauty and harmony by finding an expression to unite opposites, like light and darkness, sounds and silences or movement and stillness. And the artist, like the philosopher, finds a way to make the invisible visible or perceivable, whether in paintings, sculptures, music, dance, poetry and so much more.
Art is a facet of philosophy as to express beauty outside, we need to find and uncover it within. Art gives expression to the culture of different civilisations and lets us understand their vision of the world and their essence.
From 2pm:
