It is usually politicians and historians who deal with subjects like heritage, tradition and identity. However in our search for an exclusive video art programme for the upcoming 15th Macao Arts Festival we came across new and exciting work created by international media artists.

Come and explore these artistic attempts to illustrate and visualize aspects of the universal fact that knowing the past enables us to understand the present and consequently build a better future!

Divided into three individual programmes, the public will have the opportunity to judge and enjoy new and astonishing videos that explore the relationship between heritage and identity.
