Abstract

This article explores the dynamics of cultural dialogues and their influence on the evolution of artistic practices within global contexts. It examines how encounters between diverse traditions, histories, and communities foster the emergence of new artistic languages that transcend geographic and disciplinary boundaries. The analysis considers how globalization, migration, and technological innovation have intensified intercultural exchange, leading to hybrid forms of artistic expression that reflect both local identities and global connections. At the same time, it reflects on the tensions between cultural preservation and transformation, addressing questions of authenticity, appropriation, and power dynamics in the circulation of art across borders. Through an exploration of visual arts, performance, music, and digital media, the article highlights the ways in which artists negotiate cultural differences and construct shared spaces of creativity. Ultimately, it argues that cultural dialogues are not peripheral but central to the vitality of contemporary artistic practice, shaping the narratives, techniques, and values through which art continues to evolve in a rapidly interconnected world.
