Hey there! 

Contempl'Art was created in 2020 in Paris with the aim of promoting artistic and cultural exchanges between the Balkans and France. The association was formed out of the desire to create an original, festive and deeply supportive exhibition format: LES BALKANNES, with the aim of promoting young artists from the Balkans and, more broadly, intercultural exchanges over the long term.

 

The LES BALKANNES project was born of the following observation: a cruel lack political and cultural news from the Balkan countries. Although these territories have a rich and complex multicultural history, it's a fact that they remain largely forgotten in the collective European imagination. Long plagued by war and ethno-regional conflict, the Balkans are undergoing major transformations in the contemporary era, which our project seeks to document through photography and research.

 

Beyond this objective of valorization, LES BALKANNES is also an unprecedented space of expression and structuring for the young creation of the Balkans. Since 2020, LES BALKANNES exhibitions have enabled young artists from this region to meet online and in Paris, to exchange views on their work, and to forge their first international professional network.
