Fixit by Kaino Wennerstrand selected as the Face to Faith production of ANTI Festival 2022
Media release 7.5.2021
Face to Faith is an international cooperation project aiming to understand the diverse meanings of faith in European societies. In early 2021, the project organised an international open call for artists on the topic of faith.
We received over 400 proposals from all around the world, and 130 of them were submitted to ANTI Festival. The curatorial process included several steps; pre-selection by the artistic directors, a local audience panel in each project city and a curatorial meeting between the project partners.
Fixit by the Finnish artist Kaino Wennerstrand was selected as the Face to Faith production of ANTI Festival, Kuopio, Finland. The work will premier at ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival in September 2022.
Fixit is a show about the European Union. Who wanted it and why? Where’s it going and who’s on board? Fixit is searching for answers to these questions through new pop songs, composed for the performance. The performance is directed and composed by Kaino Wennerstrand, a Finnish artist and writer.
