JACES 2026 Festival

These arts and culture days in higher education consist of a multidisciplinar program of exhibitions dance and academic theater. Established to bridge the gap between academic research and public culture the festival occupies the entire university campus in Corte. The regional identity is explored through thematic exhibitions like “A Cerca Paolina” and modern interpretations of island history. Visitors enjoy a dynamic schedule of free performances that showcase the talent of the island’s student population and guest artists. The social impact integrates the university more deeply into the territorial cultural ecosystem of the central mountains. For sociological researchers it serves as an indicator of new expressive trends and identity formations within the Corsican youth. Safeguarding this intellectual and artistic legacy is the primary mission of the university’s cultural department.
