Festivals

Objective

create a platform for dialogue and a strong network in the long-term, experiment with green festival curation

Impact

Green festival would not only mean that it is formally sustainable, but also that its core topic is sustainability based on new methods of curatorship

Summary

Each thematic year is closed with a festival and conference to highlight the outcomes of the last year and also to create visibility for other initiatives, artistic productions in the field.

The work in the Festival WP includes an artistic, curatorial research to understand, what environmental conscious event means, not only from the form but also as the artistic content. The topic is still very under research thus we find it important that the WP leader also collects the experiences and summarizes it for the end of the project.
