Immerse yourself in art from around the world at Rotterdam’s ICAF 2023

The world’s biggest International Community Art Festival is back with its ninth edition! Under the theme of “The Sound of Change,” the ICAF is bringing together artists from all corners of the world — right in the heart of Rotterdam.

During the festival, creators from across the globe will turn the city into one big stage, and celebrate community arts in all its shapes and forms.

One city, many cultures

Inspiring creators from South Africa, Singapore, New Zealand and Colombia, among many others, will show visitors how art can bridge distances between people, cultures, and the world.

The amazingly varied programme of the ICAF is guaranteed to have just the right experience for you — whether you want to learn about gender-based violence in Africa, or see a magical performance by a Portuguese disability-inclusive dance group.

For as little as €5 per show, you can see the magic for yourself!

Get creative!

This year, the Rotterdams Wijktheater will also be offering a so-called “City Programme” where, for the first time ever, Rotterdam locals can directly step into the vibrant world of creativity.

Besides the large-scale performances, this programme will also offer community-rooted workshops, guaranteed to get your creative juices flowing!

So, what are you waiting for? Get inspired by projects ranging from impactful theatre productions to fiery dance recitals, inspiring workshops and much, much more.
