Visual Identity of the European Cultural Heritage Summit 2022
© Krzysztof Radoszek, Radoszek Arts
The visual identity of the European Cultural Heritage Summit 2022 in Prague first drew inspiration from the art of Bohemian glass and crystal making, with its rich past and lively present – an important element of Czechia’s and Europe’s cultural heritage. This materialised here in the shape of a complex rosette that points to the universal notion of perfection and beauty.
At the same time, its orderly structured composition resembles that of a mandala and thus symbolises the pursuit of tranquility and peace. Entwined within the rosette shape are growing plant buds – symbolising youth and hope – or paintbrushes which refer to fine art.
In the overlaying ‘watercolour’ ovals, one would also dare to see the afterimage of clouds or even isotherms on a weather map, which – together with the obvious connotation of a wind rose – are a signal to climate change concerns with culture serving as a ‘gasp of air’ for European people and decision-makers.
The whole key-visual is meant to evoke the feeling of the immersive beauty, harmony and soothing power of cultural heritage versus today’s strained, unsettled world and the hectic life of individuals.
