Where: Zagreb, Croatia
Cost: Mostly free What: An ambitious and exciting multimedia project with performances, art installations and urban interventions by performing and visual artists. Project is based on the modern concept of art as a social component that tries to communicate actively with the urban population, making use of abandoned, out-of use locations in the ex-industrial zone of eastern Zagreb. Visual and performing artists are given free access to the urban infrastructure; streets, squares and buildings are all up for grabs. Festival organisers have chosen pieces which specifically address urban issues, performed by an international array of artists who attempt to actively change the urban landscape and human behaviour patterns within it. Participants come from Argentina, Canada, USA and the UK, as well as Croatia. Discussion forums and workshops take place alongside the performances and festival "happenings".
