Art Zone 2027 · ROD
Painters and installation artists who answer the theme ROD

Paint live, or build something that answers ROD.
The theme of Pyramid Festival 2027 is ROD: lineage, kin, origin. Its sign is the woven rhombus from Balkan carpets, a pattern of continuity, repetition and return. We invite painters and installation artists to answer it: what do we carry from those before us, and what do we weave for those after us? The Art Zone and the paths between the stages are your canvas.
