PRESIDENT AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

The theme chosen for the 15th edition of Taobuk, Boundaries, confronts us with a cultural, intellectual, and historical responsibility—one that demands depth of vision and inquiry, and from which we cannot and do not wish to shy away. This responsibility of vision has always been the driving force behind Taobuk’s curatorial choices. In the etymology of the word boundaries—cum finis, which conveys the idea of a shared limit—lies the very complexity of this challenge, one of the most dramatic, intricate, and urgent issues of our time.

The Taobuk Awards were established in 2014 and are presented annually to highly distinguished figures from the literary, artistic, and civil spheres. They honor the moral, artistic, and professional merit of the recipients.
