Building a global platform for art dialogue and exchange, exploring cultural and artistic inheritance and innovation.
150 experts from countries such as Argentina, Poland, France, the Netherlands, the United States, Japan, Spain, Italy, and others in the fields of literature, art, philosophy, politics, economy, tourism, etc. participated in in-depth discussions from multiple perspectives on the inheritance and innovation of artistic creation, sustainable development of culture and nature, artistic empowerment and value expression in the integration of culture and tourism, and promoting dialogue among diverse civilizations through harmonious coexistence.
With the advancement of technology, innovative languages such as digital art and virtual reality will become new trends in contemporary art, "said Laura Barbarini, President of the Italian International Art Federation." The future path of cultural tourism is not only a trade route, but also a path of cultural, intellectual, and artistic exchange programs. Artists will be able to freely express their artistic elements and creative inspirations in this cross-border network, creating works that blend Eastern and Western elements. This cross-border cultural and artistic communication method is very helpful in broadening people's horizons and promoting understanding and respect between different civilizations in the East and the West.
Laura Barbarini believes that with the continuous progress of the "the Belt and Road" initiative, contemporary international art will play an increasingly important role in promoting multicultural integration and strengthening international understanding, and open a new chapter for future art and cultural exchanges. The path of cultural tourism is not only the history of the past, but also the source of future artistic development. In this era of globalization, we still have the opportunity to appreciate the artistic spirit of the Maritime Silk Road, which will continue to shine in the coming centuries. Art serves as a medium to enable more people to share world heritage.
We are willing to work together with global partners to build a cultural and artistic exchange platform, using art as a medium to interpret and activate world heritage, making more people fall in love with world heritage, safeguarding world heritage; promoting art to empower urban cultural and tourism development, benefiting people's livelihoods, and improving people's quality of life; further promoting understanding and mutual trust between countries and regions along the Maritime Silk Road, promoting cultural and tourism exchanges and cooperation. Let art shine brighter, life be better, civilization learn from each other, and share beauty together.
