More than a marketplace, BRAFA is a living testament to art’s ability to evolve while staying rooted in history. This year, the fair welcomes Joana Vasconcelos as its guest of honor—a visionary whose bold creations embody the transformative power of art.

"If the mind reasons, the soul resonates," said François Cheng. The interplay between the diverse contributors to this issue gives life to this theme, creating cascading reverberations. The 7th issue of the ENCATC magazine takes us into different worlds, inviting us to listen to a diversity of players, to question our assumptions, our habits and our prejudices, to share our views, to examine alternative perspectives, to get young people on board, and finally to stimulate our ability to mobilise ourselves more than ever in favour of a better shared culture and more inclusive and integrated policies.
