Italiafestival e Efa invitano il mondo dei festival a Galway per Arts Festival Summit 2020

L’Europa è in continua costruzione, lo sono anche i festival.

Ognuno di noi individualmente, ma anche a livello dei festival e della società civile organizzata, ha voce in capitolo e fornisce un contributo a questo esercizio di costruzione permanente. “Under continual Construction” è la linea guida di Efa.

Efa in Europa, noi di Italiafestival in Italia, mettiamo in rete i festival promuovendo lo scambio di informazioni sulle ultime tendenze artistiche invitandoli a sfruttare al meglio il loro potenziale per abbracciare i compiti e le opportunità che ci si presentano oggi: un’alleanza in piena costruzione.

L’annuale rendez-vous dell’ European Festivals Association vede l’appuntamento 2020 con 250 di Festival all’ Arts Festival Summit di Galway.

Situata sul bordo occidentale dell’Europa, i festival europei si riuniscono nella capitale europea della cultura 2020 per condividere preoccupazioni, proposte artistiche, riflessioni, per parlare delle arti e dei festival e per raccogliere intuizioni sorprendenti, prospettive convincenti, proposte forti, domande preziose.

Qui la registrazione anticipata, entro il 29 febbraio

Arts Festivals Summit MeetUp at GMIT, with a set of inspirational presentations . The morning session is the time for us to listen to people that are people beyond the festival makers zone, ‘outsiders’ of the businss of programming that are informing our work with their proposals.  We invite you to sit still, take a pan and a paper, or just open ears and eyes and listen. To those that had and have the time to think and process deeply about our world: artists, researchers, philosophers, writers; to the ways these creators are thinking and doing ‘their thing’: craftsmen and women; to the thoughts and work processes of someone that might have another expertise but shares the same concerns; to the reaction inside ourselves what these thoughts mean for us and our business.
