Anticipation of the Night 2024

Conversations, book presentations, talks, lectures.

The relationship between aesthetics and performativity as political action is at the centre of Anticipation of the Night, a free discursive space that lights up every day in the late afternoon, moving between the different locations of the festival.

The meetings expand the forms of reflection in dialogue with the artists and involve researchers, theorists, critics, to interweave questions from philosophy, physics, activism, literature.
