Theme 2025

For 2025, we’re stepping into a year of collaboration, participation, and boundless imagination.

Our theme celebrates the vibrant, ever-changing spectrum of human expression. Like the shifting patterns of a kaleidoscope, KOTA 2025 is about dreaming big, embracing change, and finding beauty in connection—through art, music, flow, and your participation.

This year, we invite you not just to attend but to be part of the magic. Whether it’s joining a workshop, contributing to a collaborative art piece, or dancing under the stars, every moment at KOTA 2025 is an opportunity to express yourself and celebrate the kaleidoscope of our collective dreams.
