APPROACH

Simply put, to introduce a concept — Celebrating Art, Culture, Beauty & Innovation — and through this begin a conversation.

What began as a vision for an extension of the Cedars in Kosovo — a place for leaders across nations and walks of life to gather, reconcile in fellowship, and study the leadership model of Jesus — has grown into a discussion to address the inter-cultural alienation and isolation in the Balkans. Storytelling is a recurring theme in reconciliation. Opportunities to share individual experiences, personal pride, suffering, an expression of vulnerability — an invitation for a relationship.

This invitation takes the form of highly relational, personal, and virtual exhibits; performance, conference, discussion, and exchange of culture… a celebration of tradition, talent, and excellence of each region… creating one sustainable economic alliance with distinct individual identity. An immersive and experiential art and culture exhibit expressed through technology and media.
