Throughout 2024, the exhibition "Transformative Visions" in the Gallery of Schloss Leopoldskron, created in collaboration with KUD Manifest and ART CIRCLE International Arts Festival, showcased the works of five international artists: Simone Kessler (GER; title image), Maša Gala (SLO), Lalo Sanchez Del Valle (MEX), Ilse Van Roy (BEL), and Saburi Norihiko (JPN). Each artist brings a unique global perspective, woven together under the overarching theme of transformation. Reflected in this exhibition and at the core of Salzburg Global's values and mission, is a belief in change as a positive and necessary force for the betterment of society.
Art has always been a reflection of change—whether through the dramatic shifts in style from the Renaissance to the modern era or through the evolution of materials and techniques. This exhibition highlights how contemporary artists continue this tradition, using their work to comment on, react to, and influence the changing world around them.
