It is a call to reflect on how place shapes perception, and how the early landscapes of a life can echo through artistic vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kor\u00e7\u00eb holds a particular clarity of light. It falls gently on cobblestone streets, on neoclassical facades, on quiet courtyards and old windows. There is a rhythm here \u2014 measured, thoughtful \u2014 where history is not distant but present, embedded in walls and public squares. In such a setting, projection becomes dialogue. Light touches surfaces that have witnessed generations. Moving images enter spaces already filled with stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city\u2019s cultural depth \u2014 its music, literature, and tradition of education \u2014 creates a fertile ground for contemporary video art. Here, the artwork does not stand alone; it resonates within a layered environment shaped by time. Sensitivity meets structure. Image meets memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We invite artists to engage with Kor\u00e7\u00eb not only as a location, but as a point of origin. To consider how light can reveal the emotional texture of a birthplace. To explore how video, as a medium of movement and time, can converse with a city rooted in continuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Kor\u00e7\u00eb, art returns to beginnings \u2014 and from those beginnings, new visions can emerge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<!-- IVAF: Print & Share Bar \u2014 Montserrat (titles), Inter (UI) -->\n<section id=\"ivaf-share-print\">\n  <style>\n    \/* Unify fonts me
