VISION
Idalia 2025 envisions a space where the lost, the unfinished, and the unexpected finally come together. Rooted in the theme “404 : Found”, this fest celebrates moments of confusion, creative crashes, and quiet searching transforming them into connection, expression, and discovery.
Mission
Our mission is to curate a dynamic and inclusive festival that brings the theme “404 : Found” to life through diverse events, performances, workshops, and interactive experiences. We aim to provide a platform where students and artists can channel chaos into creativity, burnout into expression, and isolation into community.
THEME
“404: Found" becomes a celebration of everything unexpected - a place where lost ideas, wild dreams and chaotic creativity finally find each other. It's the space where errors become experiences, crashes become creativity and disconnected minds connect again. For everyone who's been stuck on life's loading screen - welcome. You've finally synced.
This theme will beautifully tie the digital era and human connection together. And honestly, it's relatable to every college student - burnt out, overstimulated, scrolling endlessly and yet searching for something real.
