The Cultural Nomads Project
presents visionary artists, who helped to revolutionize culture and arts, as we know it nowadays

The Cultural Nomads Project aims to spark a global conversation about iconic influencers, who helped to reshape classical arts and culture for modernity.

We think that the aftermath of Covid-19 is particularly cruel to the performative arts throughout the world. Despite being deprived of regular training in the studios and the excitement of performances, the international dance community showed an amazing discipline and dedication to the art of dance since the beginning of the pandemic.

With our first instalment of programs, we express our support to the artists who continue to perfect their skills and artistry.

Our heroes—we call them nomads of culture—exemplify perfection and creativity in their respective fields of art. Their talents blossomed at the intersections of different cultures and have contributed to the reshaping of classical cultural and art traditions for modernity.
