16. INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS – CITY OF WOMEN
Between Past & Future
8.-17. oktober 2010
http://www.cityofwomen.org

This year's edition of the City of Women Festival will address the topic Between Past & Future.
The conceptual background relates to the eponymous book by Hannah Arendt who, back in the 1960's, argued that the condition of human existence, robbed of the traditional, transcendental, religious and moral standards employed to bridge the abyss between past and future, lost direction.
Artists and theoreticians with various views, experiences, approaches, backgrounds and cultural milieu will challenge audiences between 8th and 17th October with their reflections and responses to the relationship between past and future that we confront today.
