ANTIZINE vol. 9 / 2021 is a festival catalogue + much more!

Part 1 presents the 2021 festival programme, including the Shortlist LIVE! Programme; performances by artists shortlisted for ANTI Festival International Prize for Live Art 2021.

Part 2 celebrates the 20th anniversary of ANTI Festival through a series of mini essays by our friends – artists, partners and audience members! Here are some bits and parts of what they wrote about ANTI:

“ANTI Festival is a pioneer as an ambitious and long-standing Live Art festival
both at the national and international level.”

– Leena Kela, performance artist, the artistic director of the New Performance Turku Festival and the executive director of Saari Residence maintained by Kone Foundation.

”The City of Kuopio has the intent of renewing its living urban culture and urban art, and ANTI is the city’s most important partner in this context.”

– Kirsi Soininen, Marketing Director of the City of Kuopio.

”(ANTI Festival International Prize for Live Art) is really just about creating an opportunity and sustaining artists’ career. That radical act coming from this small town in Finland is a big statement.”

– Cassils (CA/US), artist & the first ever Winner of ANTI Festival International Prize for Live Art (2014)
