(NON) PRESENCE

This year’s edition of the festival is dedicated to the theme of the power of language as a tool of both creation and destruction.
The inspiration comes from the work Protect Me from What I Want by Jenny Holzer – an artist who has made text the central medium of her practice. In the age of media, propaganda, and linguistic simplification, words are increasingly becoming instruments of manipulation, imposition of narratives, and power.

The program includes: performance, debate, screening, and sound action.

We’ll meet where every word – or its absence – matters.

ARTISTS Janusz Bałdyga, Krzysztof Leon Dziemaszkiewicz, Aleksandra Kubiak, Aurora Lubos, Tomasz Opania, Joanna Pawlik, Anna Steller, Hubert Wińczyk, Monika Wińczyk, Marta Ziółek
MUSIC Monster Hurricane Wihajster
