Nomad Spirit – International Program will be held in Ulaanbaatar and Deren Soum, Dundgobi Province, Mongolia, from Sep 20 to Oct 4, 2024. The festival aims to raise public awareness of climate change and its impact on the cultures and lives of ordinary people through organization of inspirational public art events and creative activities. The project selected 4 international and 4 Mongolian artists and will facilitate their collaboration with the local community.
