Promoting creativity, developing new forms of artistic expression and intercommunity socialization, BIAMT helps to promote cultural diversity and the changing of mentalities.

Different from several points of view, this year's edition proposes the concept of Emotional Interactions as a starting point for artistic debates.

We experience daily a multitude of states, feelings, these being the constant part of feelings in our lives. Every day, every place we live, every being we interact with, are part of our own history. The concept of this edition can be about what we live, about how we remember and about how everything can turn into an object, a drawing, a painting or a photograph. Artists are invited to propose their own interpretation in a contemporary formula using any techniques and materials, traditional or unconventional.
