Abgesagt | Vorausgeschaut: Artlake Festival 2022

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

Finally, again we want to use our beloved Artlake Festival as a space and platform to come together and shape, create, participate. The pandemic taught us once again how important solidarity, community cohesion and social interaction are and how we can come back even stronger, re:united.

That’s also why the upcoming festival edition will be held under the topic “re:pair”.
The "re" refers to reconnection, emphasizing that things used to be there and going back to that state of connectedness. And "pair" sees itself as a strong alliance/cohesion.

The derivation comes from the Japanese "Kintsugi"

Kintsugi (golden joinery) describes the Japanese method of repairing something broken with gold, and something much more valuable/beautiful than before is created afterwards.

We want to bring together what’s been broken apart and create spaces of re:interaction and re:flection.

We will also be displaying this overarching theme within our eights LABS*: body, climate, create, identity, internet, europe, truth and resistance. But not only within workshops, talks, panels and movies – also within installations and exhibitions. There are a lot of unsettling occurrences taking place worldwide in our societies. May it be far away and still extremely relevant or just in front of our door but often overlooked – now more than ever it is important to address crucial topics and come from talking into action.
So keep your eyes peeled – we can’t wait to share all that with you!

Let’s get creative, unite powers, support each other where ones are losing will or hope and pull us back up again.

We are beyond thrilled, excited, hyped to tell you more about the next edition! Delete everything else in your calendar for this weekend!
