ALTREFORME Sociocultural Art Festival is back – another opportunity to exchange other new ideas!
After last year’s edition, which left us moved and full of emotion, we’re back with an invitation to creativity with even more ardour and new insights!

This year we intend, once again, to create an open space.

This time we want to dedicate three days to a theme we hold very dear:
postmodern labour.

We still believe that through art, dance, music and the meeting of minds and bodies,
bonds, relationships, discussions and awareness can be created.
Because art is politics. Because everything is politics.
Our choices, the way we inhabit time and space,
every gesture and every breath: it’s politics.

And today, we need it more than ever.

‘Western society has moved into a state of liquidity, or post-modernity – when the experiences people live through, and the actions they take, have started to change so quickly that they don’t have time to consolidate into habits.’

We are launching an open call to bring together local and international artists of all kinds, with the aim of fostering the international exchange of art and pushing the boundaries of our borders and souls!

The Open Call is open to artists, collectives and individuals, of all ages, cultures, provenances and backgrounds who are interested in taking part in ALTREFORME.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

► Shows (dance, theatre, circus etc)
► Concerts
► DJs
► Exhibitions
► Workshops (any practice)
► A creation project (we offer a 5 days residency for a project of dance and music)
► Short films
► Artisans, food producers, resellers
► Debates and conferences proposals
► Volunteers

We begin from here:
from meeting and confrontation,
from claiming our rights,
from the urgency.

Join us. Bring ideas, bodies, energy.
Because the future is to be written together
and it’s time to keep ourselves alive!
