As always, a big part of the festival is freely accessible. Various workshops give the opportunity for encounter and the possibility for active collaboration with international artists. One of them is offered by the collective LASTESIS from Chile, which translates feminist theories into performances. The performance with 40 local participants will be presented on Friday 26 August at 22 hrs on the Zentral stage. Should you wish to be part of it, you find further information here. A talk with LASTESIS, the Brazilian philosopher Rita Segato and the Swiss gender researcher Franziska Schutzbach continues our series with perspectives from the global south: On 22 August at 15 hrs, you are invited to attend «Talking on Water», as always free of charge and in best summer weather on the Landiwiese.
On Saffainsel, we will build a little cabin in which the brand new durational performance of Ragnar Kjartansson takes place on the first festival weekend. Each day at 18 hrs, there will be an introduction to the programme and at 21 hrs you can sit down at our Stammtisch to discuss social topics with local and international hosts. Additionally, a variety of street artists will again present their works on the Zentral stages and on designated outdoor spots. We also continue the pop-up format DeZentral: From Tuesdays to Thursdays, a company of the street art line-up performs in a Zurich district.
