ALC Festival 2023

NEXT: Art Literature and Culture Festival聽

Next: (of a time or season) coming immediately after the time of writing or speaking; coming immediately after the present one in order, rank, or space. As students graduate, the word seems charged with positive energy. It becomes a statement about moving forward and defining the moment.
