SUBMISSIONS NOW OPEN! We are in search of visual artists to submit their art to be showcased in an online exhibition. Artists of all mediums and from all countries are welcome to apply, including painters, sculptors, photographers, designers, and video artists.

CISTA ARTS is thrilled to invite both Kurdish and non-Kurdish artists residing in various parts of the world to participate in our upcoming online art exhibition. This exhibition aims to celebrate the rich and diverse artistic expressions within the Kurdish community, while also shedding light on the current Kurdish situation.

Kurdish artists, your unique experiences, heritage, and perspectives contribute to a vibrant tapestry of art. This exhibition is a platform to showcase your creativity, resilience, and the stories that have shaped your artistic journey. We welcome a wide range of mediums and themes, from traditional to contemporary, reflecting the multifaceted nature of Kurdish identity.

Non-Kurdish artists, while this exhibition primarily focuses on the current Kurdish situation, we invite you to contribute your artistic interpretations of this important theme. Your voices, creativity, and solidarity with the Kurdish community are vital in fostering a deeper understanding of the challenges and aspirations faced by Kurds today.

Our goal is to create a virtual space where artists from diverse backgrounds can connect, share their narratives, and promote cultural exchange. Together, we can bridge gaps, build understanding, and inspire unity through the power of art.
