Art & Culture is a space dedicated to visual expression and cultural exploration beyond the realm of music. This section focuses on art exhibitions, museums, installations, tattoo conventions, and creative practices that stand on their own terms, from contemporary and classical shows to immersive experiences and artist led gatherings.
We look at how art and culture are presented, experienced, and contextualised, whether in institutional spaces, independent venues, or temporary environments where visual language takes centre stage. From curatorial visions and visual narratives to tattooing as a living, embodied art form, this section documents the places where creativity, identity, and cultural dialogue unfold independently of sound.

Having covered the Gdańsk Tattoo Konwent for a few years now, I once again found myself immersed in the electrifying buzz of artistic expression as I embarked on my two-day journey to the heart of tattoo culture in Poland. Year after year, I’ve witnessed the remarkable transformation of this event into something more accessible and increasingly popular, drawing in a diverse and enthusiastic crowd.
For the 12th edition of the tattoo konwent in Gdansk, over 4,000 visitors, nearly 350 tattoo artists, 496 tattoos entered for the contests & 24 prizes were awarded in 8 thematic categories.
