TAF conversations is where professionals of the art world meet and discuss with the audience. Beside the opportunity to meet and discuss with the artists and curators and participants of the TAF 2022 edition, the talks will address the current events, putting an emphasis on creating and curating art in times of war, when many artists and professionals have to flee their home country in order to survive and practice their art. TAF will also devote a talk to the NFT market and the changes it induces in the way art can be done, disseminated and sold. Those topics and more will be addressed by artists, curators and writers from Georgia, USA, Czech Republic, Austria, Ukraine, Latvia, France, Germany, Netherlands and Spain.
