Talk: Festivals in the City!

Cultural festivals are vital to the life of a city — they bring communities together, create meaningful connections between artists and audiences, and place creativity at the heart of urban life. But behind every vibrant festival lies hard work, dedication, and often significant challenges for the people making it all happen.

How important are cultural festivals for Stockholm? How are they organised, what challenges do they face, and what are their visions for the future? And how do they contribute to shaping Stockholm as a creative and culturally rich city?

Join us for a conversation exploring how festivals can unlock the creative potential of a city like Stockholm — and what it takes to make them thrive.

The talk will be moderated by Virve Sutinen, former Director of Tanz im August, Berlin.
