REGISTRATION & TICKETSABOUT
Media ubiquity, pandemic concerns, and social divisions, affected moreover by an ongoing war, have landed us in a world of splintered realities – to live with? to heal? to care? to learn from nature? We don't expect to provide answers. Instead, this year our festival aims to be a forum for revising the “splinters'' of our contemporary condition. We choose this perspective as our 'realism' is neither that of military strategists, nor that of cultural pessimists. Instead, ours is a desperate realism – in the spirit of Guattari's ecosophy, Latour's terrestrial coexistence, or Haraway's 'arts of living on a damaged planet'..
