Diplomatic World Global Art Forum

Diplomatic World Global Art Forum

Ms Barbara Dietrich is also Expert in Contemporary Art by Diplomatic World -Diplomatic World Global Art Forum & Lobbyist for Artists, Museums and Institutions. The Diplomatic World Global Art Forum has set itself to articulate the challenges to humankind artistically and to give “hybrid”- artists the chance to speak about them. This term describes artists who move between multiple disciplines.

They see themselves as artists, scientists, researchers and entrepreneurs. Ms Barbara Dietrich deals with the newest developments in the fields of science, technology and discovery and understand art not only in an abstract manner, but as a solution for the challenges of today and tomorrow. The artists represent the “5 H’s”: HOPE – HEALTH – HAPPINESS – HARMONY – HONESTY.

The Diplomatic World Global Art Forum considers these artists primarily as bearers of hope. They are able to contribute towards people finding their own identity while developing respect towards the identity of other people. The “hybrid art” shows that there is more than one perspective of reality and that those multiple perspectives can be equally good, right and interesting. The dialogue of those artists will help to convey this “equality through variety” across all borders.
