Call for Submissions: Artistic Poster Exhibition

The 3rd World Congress on Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine (WCTCIM) introduces “Confluence,” an exhibition designed to merge science with art. This initiative invites congress participants to showcase their creative talents through an Artistic Poster display. Consequently, it celebrates the cultural diversity of a global community, which has already submitted scientific papers from 47 countries.

The exhibition provides a unique space where scientific and artistic narratives can meet. Ultimately, the goal is to encourage dialogue, foster new perspectives, and strengthen connections among researchers, health professionals, and leaders from around the world.

A Global Confluence of Culture and Creativity

The exhibition’s main objective is to highlight the artistic expressions of professionals in traditional, complementary, and integrative medicines. It aims to strengthen a sense of community and intercultural dialogue through art. The selected works will form a permanent exhibition displayed throughout the congress.

We invite participants to submit various two-dimensional artworks. Accepted formats include paintings, drawings, photography, collages, and written pieces such as poetry.
