The International Festival "Reflection of disability in art" (iRoDi Festival), invites the interested parties to send their work to join in the program of the 5th Festival that will be held in Thessaloniki. Greece, December 3 to 10, 2023.

The purpose of the festival is to highlight art through the perspective of disability.
