Fragile Forces in motion: Our first festival recap

The dust of our 11th edition is only just settling, and we're happy to look back already: the first video recap of FIBER Festival 2026 is here.

Together we asked what Fragile Forces can mean today, or how vulnerability, care and soft power move through the ecological and technological systems we share. Through intimate live shows, performances that bend the boundaries between body and space, intimacy and scale, sweat-soaked club nights, installation art, and daring conversations that probed urgent questions at the intersection of ecology, technology, and care – together, we made space for what is fragile to be felt.

Relive the four-day programme through the lens of our videographers Dammes Kieft and Nicky Pajkic, who moved between audiovisual performances, live and DJ sets, installations, talks and festival encounters across the city. Watch the video below or on our YouTube channel.

Thank you, dear visitors, participating artists, researchers, supporters, venues, funding, media and creative partners, for carrying this edition with us.

Keep an eye on our channels: all symposium talks will be released on our YouTube account very soon, along with more exciting news.
