This stamp celebrates the 53rd edition of the Carthage International Festival, one of the most prestigious cultural events in the Arab world and Africa. The modern graphic composition integrates symbols of Carthaginian history (the winged horseman, the ancient columns) superimposed on shapes evoking music and the scene. The message conveyed by this program underlines the role of Carthage as a crossroads of arts and civilizations, where two thousand years of heritage meets the most contemporary artistic expressions to promote dialogue between peoples.
