UNFINISHED was born out of the desire to raise awareness about the value of
others in our lives and the importance of embracing diversity. Part festival, part
conference, part exhibition, and part undefined, UNFINISHED is an ever-evolving
experience. UNFINISHED 23, the first multidisciplinary festival in Romania, is a large-scale annual event that shines a spotlight on cultural diversity and creativity. It brings together artists, speakers, designers, journalists, and experts from various fields, hailing from over 70 countries worldwide.
Now in its eighth edition, this year’s festival revolves around the theme of “SILENCE,” with a focus on sustainability. From September 22nd to 24th, the festival aims to
build bridges between diverse disciplines, encouraging curiosity, a thirst for knowledge, and innovative thinking among participants. UNFINISHED continues its mission of uniting people from around the world with different interests that intersect in unexpected ways.
UNFINISHED 2023 will be a physical edition, where we aim to bring together 3,141
individuals from all corners of the globe.
UNFINISHED 23 follows a cohesive structure, divided into six disciplinary pillars,
which will be explored and developed throughout the event. These pillars include:

various fields will delve into current and thought-provoking topics, bringing innovative
