Maldives ; A simple story

We invite artists to explore and respond to the overarching theme through their personal narratives and visual expressions. Artists may reflect on local culture, oral traditions, environmental elements, weather, daily life, or folklore—encouraging both poetic and provocative interpretations of what makes the Maldives a living, breathing story.
