200 proposals from around the world for the 20th ANTI Festival
Media release 18.1.2021
ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival will take place between 14th and 19th September 2021 in Kuopio, Finland. As we approach our 20th festival, amid these challenging times, we turn to an idea that sits at the heart of ANTI Festival’s mission – free to attend for audiences, the festival is framed from within; its name translates from the Finnish as ‘gift’.
We invited artists, working in any field, to propose projects that directly engage with the theme of gift and gift giving. The open call was organised between 15th December 2020 and 15th January 2021. We received exactly 199 proposals from 50 different countries.
The 20-year old ANTI Festival, Kuopio, live art and multidisciplinary contemporary art have audiences across the globe, in every continent. Proposals were submitted, besides from several European countries, from the United States, Brazil, Australia, Japan, Israel and Mozambic, among others.
200 times thank you to all the applicants! The festival programme will be released during the spring.
