First part of festival programme released – ANTI Festival happens 13–18 September in Kuopio
ANTI-festivaalilla eletään muutosten vuotta. Siinä missä festivaali itsekin etsii omaa uutta uomaansa – joskin aina uomista villisti rönsyillen – myös tämän vuoden festivaaliteoksissa ollaan matkalla. Useissa teoksissa tutkitaan myös yhteyksiä eri aikakausien välillä ja etsitään kollektiivisten rituaalien kautta asioita, joihin on vielä mahdollista – tai aivan mahdotonta – uskoa ja sitoutua kriisien varjostamassa maailmassa.
Artist selections for the Kulkue project announced
Artists have been selected for the Kulkue project, which develops touring activities between festivals. The themes covered by the artwork of the selected seven working groups range from the creation of queer spaces to urban planning.
