Program 2025

12-22.06 Art_Inkubator

Fotofestiwal 12-22 June 2025

What do people believe and how do they organize their ideas about reality? What orders do they create to understand and tame the complex universe?

Our lives are shaped by the various systems with which we try to order our daily lives, but they often also bring oppression and control. Their action, though sometimes invisible, determines our decisions and the way we explain the world to ourselves and what we consider to be the norm.

The artists invited to the Main Program explore our mechanisms of looking at the world and examine the systems in which we function – from the global interconnectedness of the capitalist economy, to systems of power, grand historical narratives and atypical religious beliefs, to looking for cosmic signs in everyday public space.
