This year\u2019s edition features the participation of 45 visual artists from 16 countries<\/strong>, including several Algerian artists from various provinces and 32 international artists<\/strong> from countries such as Australia, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Ireland, Turkey, Iran, Palestine, Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Oman, and Libya<\/strong>, according to Fouad Bela\u00e2, the president of the Lamassat Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event began with art and creative workshops<\/strong> at the Palace of Culture, where participants will spend three days creating works inspired by their imaginations, local Algerian landscapes, and the cultural heritage of their respective countries. Following these workshops, the artists will collaborate on large murals depicting the history and events of the Algerian liberation struggle<\/strong>, in a spirit of skill exchange and shared artistic techniques<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the artistic activities, the symposium will host several thematic conferences<\/strong> on artistic values.

Since its establishment in 2016<\/strong> by the Lamassat Association, the symposium has served as a platform for cross-cultural dialogue<\/strong> between artists from different parts of the world and has played a key role in promoting Algeria\u2019s artistic heritage<\/strong> on the international stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
