Blurring the lines between storytelling, folklore, performance and poetry – FELISPEAKS has curated a line-up of artists to imagine the New World we wish to live in, to be a part of, that we desire to mould. 

Acknowledging that we cannot return to the past, we are discontent with the present. But the future is always worth shaping, worth creating. So we turn to art to invent the New World.

More information on the New World line-up to come!
