Borealis 2023: Future Festivals
As Borealis celebrated its 20th anniversary we asked whether festivals still hold any power through the act of gathering and intense engagement, or whether it’s time for the idea of festival to change? What can a festival be and what challenges will it face in terms of aesthetics, politics and sustainability? Leading the conversation was BBC Radio 3 journalist and author Kate Molleson, and on the panel was Borealis Artistic Director Peter Meanwell, Thomas Schäfer – Director of the International Music Institute Darmstadt (IMD) and Artistic Director of the Darmstadt Summer Course, Marie Jeanson – Director of Archipel Festival and Beril Sarıaltun – musician, sound designer, producer and leader of Beats By Girlz Turkey.
The conversation was supported by Fritt Ord Foundation.
