Sharing our second artist release
23 new additions to this year’s programme!
Step by step, we move deeper into Fragile Forces, unveiling a new wave of artists, researchers, DJs, and performers joining this year’s programme. With 23 new additions, the line-up stretches further between established international artists shaping forward-facing sound and emerging voices actively redrawing the edges of experimentation. The festival continues to take form as a layered field of practices and perspectives.
New AV works include CORIN and Bapari, who also present material from their upcoming albums. Energetic live and DJ sets come from artists such as Jokkoo Collective’s Nexus (B4MBA + MOOKI6) and Bobby Beethoven, while other moments invite slower, more attentive listening: Anushka Chkheidze’s organ work and Loraine James performing as Whatever the Weather, exploring keyboard improvisation and vocal textures.
Most exhibition artists are now confirmed, with further announcements to follow soon. On Friday May 29, acclaimed lawyer, writer, and trans activist Dean Spade will give the festival keynote unfolding the core questions of the festival theme, Fragile Forces, with an exploration of mutual aid, collective care, and sustained resistance,
The majority of the exhibition artists have been shared, and there is more to come.
