Trieste Contemporanea

'Trieste Contemporanea. Dialogues with the Art of Central Eastern Europe' is a committee of cultural institutions and associations created in June 1995. The Trieste Contemporanea Committee runs its activity through collaborations, co-productions and exchanges on an international level. Initiatives dedicated to visual art, music, cinema, literature, multimediality, theatre, architecture and design have been held in Trieste and abroad. The focal points of the activity of the Committee can be considered to be the 'Trieste Contemporanea International Design Contest' a biennial event that now attracts the interest of designers from 21 European countries, and the 'CEI Venice Forum for Contemporary Art Curators', another biennial event that deals with the topics of cultural promotion and the exchange of curatorial experiences in occasion of the opening of the Venice Biennale.
