Deadline: June 30, 2025... Theme: "Awakening Curiosity"...
THEME
"Awakening Curiosity"
Curiosity is a fundamental trait of human nature. Children are born curious – they constantly ask questions and explore the world with wonder. But as we grow older, our curiosity often fades. What if we could awaken it again?Curiosity means asking questions, exploring, wondering “what if?”, “why?”, “how?”. It is the spark of knowledge, the engine of change and creativity. The slogan “Awakening Curiosity” stems from the vision of the European Capital of Culture Trenčín 2026, which believes that culture has the power to ignite people’s interest in the world, in others, and in the future. The biennial’s theme invites you to use humor and satire to depict moments when curiosity is awakened – whether through unexpected questions, absurd situations, a child’s perspective on the world, or the sudden spark of insight that lights up our minds. What would the world look like without curiosity? And what could it become, if we rediscover it?.
