Signals Festival 2021

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

Signals Festival 2021 > Utopia or Dystopia

Are we heading for a utopia or dystopia, and how can art & technology determine that direction?

Via live performances, installations, screenings, workshops and dialogues we ask what does artistic expression look like in a sustainable community and what is our responsibility as artists to transform the wider social, political & industrial landscapes.
