ANTI 25 Talks
16.9. – 19.9.
The history, present, and future of the ANTI Festival are explored in a podcast series marking the festival’s anniversary year. Some of the material for the podcast episodes will be recorded live during the festival at discussion events, where we get to meet this year’s festival artists!
The ANTI 25 podcast explore the turning points in the history of the ANTI Festival, its social and international impact, and its significance in the development of Finnish performing arts and new genre public art. It examines the festival both as an art institution in Eastern Finland and as an international actor.
The live discussion meetings will feature artists from Kuopio, who have presented their work at the festival, this year’s participating artists, and some pioneers of live art and performance!
The ANTI 25 Talks are co-curated and hosted by curator and writer Heidi Backström. The project is supported by the Northern Savo Regional Fund of the Finnish Cultural Foundation.
