THE SILENT VOICE
As we prepare to step into 2026, this issue invites our readers to slow down and absorb the essence of the year gone by. To acknowledge the enduring power of classical traditions, the boldness of contemporary expressions, and the silent strength of grassroots cultural movements. It is in these intersections that the true spirit of culture thrives.
