A time between ashes and roses

Under the direction of Hoor Al Qasami, President and Director of the Sharjah Art Foundation, the theme of the Aichi Triennial 2025 will be "A Time Between Ashes and Roses".

This line refers to the Syrian poet Adonis, whose reflections explore renewal in the wake of difficult times. This year, over 60 artists are expected to focus on this theme. Sculptures, paintings, performances and workshops will highlight the Aichi prefecture to the delight of art lovers and travelers alike.
