"The Future of the Past" international cultural festival guests are already arriving in Armenia. On September 12 and 13, designers, artisans, and cultural representatives from 11 countries—Armenia, Bulgaria, Romania, Lithuania, Serbia, Georgia, Ukraine, Qatar, Hungary, Uruguay, and England—will meet at Victory Park in Yerevan. The international guests will stay in Armenia until September 14.

 

The festival is organized by the "Teryan Cultural Center" NGO. The project is implemented with the financial support of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports of the Republic of Armenia, in collaboration and co-financing with Victory Park.

 

The "Future of the Past" project is dedicated to the preservation, reinterpretation, and contemporary presentation of national cultural heritage. The festival focuses on ethnic fashion, featuring modern interpretations of national costumes, traditional patterns, and ancient crafts.

 

For two days, Victory Park will transform into a grand platform for cultural encounters. The festival program includes exhibitions of ethnic fashion, presentations of national clothing from various peoples, "Masters' City," a decorative-applied arts exhibition-sale, master classes, presentations, creative meetings, and musical and theatrical programs.

 

"The Future of the Past" festival demonstrates that national heritage is not just a memory of the past. It is a living source of creativity that can serve as a foundation for the development of contemporary art, design, and fashion. The project creates new cultural bridges between countries and peoples, uniting tradition, creative thought, and visions for the future.

 

The festival will take place on September 12 and 13 at Victory Park in Yerevan. Admission is free. https://www.instagram.com/p/DdEDbYHiCqM/?stkn=bndtNnFkeHkzbmln
