BIOFEST 2027 – International Biospheral Forum

BIOFEST is a multidisciplinary cultural and community festival hosted at BIOPOLIS in the Ukrainian Carpathians, bringing together artists, musicians, craftspeople, educators and people exploring new relationships between humanity and nature. The festival builds upon the experience of the International Biospheral Forum and cultural gatherings held at BIOPOLIS since 2019, with documented programmes in previous years, including 2021. The organising team's wider experience in international creative gatherings dates back to 2013. The 2027 edition brings together contemporary art, live music, environmental creativity, traditional Carpathian crafts, participatory workshops and community-based cultural exchange. A central artistic programme is EDEM – Art in the Living Landscape, developed in collaboration with YUA – Young Ukrainian Artists. EDEM invites artists to create site-responsive works using natural materials, sound, movement and the landscape itself as an active participant in artistic expression. BIOFEST is more than a series of performances. It is a living cultural environment where audiences become participants, artists collaborate across disciplines, and creative practice connects with ecological awareness. The festival is organised within the ecosystem of Charitable Fund «IBSDF - International BIOSPHERAL SETTLEMENTS DEVELOPMENT FUND» and BIOPOLIS.
